Expert picks & predictions for Wednesday’s Clippers vs. Bulls game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes James Harden to double-double versus Chicago:
“The Bulls defense has been a viable opponent for opposing guards to have a day and that should excite James Harden who is coming off a 5-of-22 shooting performance against the Pistons. Harden played Chicago once and double-doubled with 10 assists, and he did triple-double last year in the only meeting versus the Bulls. Harden has double-doubled in two straight games and six of the past seven games. I like James Harden to grab another double-double at +100 odds and if he does triple-double, you can get that for +1100 odds, which is worth a sprinkle.”
