Chicago Bulls vs San Antonio Spurs: Betting Odds
The arrival of DeMar DeRozan has been no less than a revelation for his career as well as for the Chicago Bulls. The management is looking to bring back the glory days they enjoyed in the 90s. Since new players like Alex Carruso, Lonzo Ball, and DeRozan have joined the team, there's next-level excitement among the fans.
The Bulls qualified for the playoffs last season after a few years but could not go deep. However, they have their eyes on becoming the Eastern Conference champions this time. Zach LaVine missed the first two games for Chicago but has been quite consistent since his return.
San Antonio, meanwhile, started the new season on a very positive note by winning three straight games after their Game 1 defeat to the Charlotte Hornets (129-102). Dejounte Murray's departure to the Cavs has caused a dent, but coach Gregg Popovich is clear that the team is in transition. Like the Bulls in the East, the Spurs are eighth in the Western Conference.
