Best Bets
George and Leonard have had more than a few days off after missing their last game against Cleveland. We could see some rust and poor shot making in this game. Defense will be a key factor in this game as both teams do a solid enough job at containing their opponents. The under is 5-1 in the Clippers’ last six games following an against the spread loss. The under is 12-2 in the Bulls’ last 14 Tuesday games.
