NBA Lines: 3 best bets for New Orleans Pelicans vs. Chicago Bulls

The New Orleans Pelicans have been one of the easier teams to bet this season and that should continue vs. the Chicago Bulls.

There are a few things you can almost always count on with the Pelicans, which is that they score a ton of points and don’t play much defense, which makes for easy betting if you do it right.

Couple that with the fact that Lonzo Ball is still being undervalued by the books and you have a good recipe for winning bets.

Remember, I am not a professional sharp, so take this advice with a grain of salt and always bet with your head, not over it.

Here are three bets I love against the Chicago Bulls.

The New Orleans Pelicans and Chicago Bulls will score over 237.5 points

There is almost no point total that would be too high to stay away from in this one, as both teams can put it in the bucket and don’t play much defense.

The Bulls are just 19th in the NBA in defensive rating, while the Pelicans are 29th, nearly worst in the entire NBA.

The two teams scored 245 combined in their last meeting and it could be even higher this time. Either way, I hate betting the under and cheering for guys to miss shots, so I say just continue to hammer the over in every Pelicans’ game and sit back and enjoy the ride.

New Orleans Pelicans vs. Bulls: Lonzo Ball will score more than 15.5 points

The books still haven’t figured out that Lonzo Ball is the third scoring option on the Pelicans, though they finally raised his point total.

This is one I’ve been betting all season and will continue to do so, as Lonzo has scored more than 15.5 points in six of his last seven games and should continue to get plenty of open looks.

He has evolved into one of the best 3-point shooters in the league and the Pels will continue to look for him in the half court. If you like the first bet, then couple it with this one, as the two will go hand in hand.

Pelicans vs. Bulls: Brandon Ingram will have fewer than 5.5 rebounds

This is a sneaky good bet, even though there could be a lot of chances for rebounds in what should be a high-scoring game.

Ingram has only gone over five rebounds twice in the last 12 games, which makes this a  solid bet even if you think the Pels will score a lot of points. Steven Adams and Zion Williamson grab most of the boards, which should continue tonight against a shorthanded Bulls team.

The New Orleans Pelicans high-scoring offense and porous defense should mean money for bettors who take advantage and ride the trends.
