The Chicago Bulls (6-1) go up against the Orlando Magic (5-2) on Friday in a game that could very well be a preview of a potential NBA Playoff matchup.
The Magic will be the home team in this one and they’ll put their perfect 4-0 record in Orlando on the line against a Bulls squad that has gone a solid 4-1 when playing outside of Orlando.
The road team has won 4 of the last 6 head-to-head meetings between these teams, while the underdog has covered the odds in 4 straight games.
The Bulls have now won 3 in a row against the Magic, while 7 of the 8 clashes between these teams in Orlando have gone under the total.
Betting odds in Friday’s game are going to be a bit late to debut thanks to the uncertainty surrounding Chicago guard Derrick Rose (elbow).
Rose is currently listed as probable after falling hard on his left elbow during Wednesday’s game.
X-rays came back negative, but figuring out his status will be necessary before a line is able to be generated.
Chicago has guard C.J. Watson (elbow) as out, while Orlando guard DeAndre Liggins (foot) is questionable.
