Spurs Aim for 31st Home Win vs Bulls
The San Antonio Spurs continue to be dynamite at home and will put a 30-game home winning streak on the line when they play host to the struggling Chicago Bulls on Thursday. The Spurs are also extremely profitable for bettors at AT&T Center, going 20-10 ATS during that span. Dating back to last season, the Spurs have triumphed in 39 straight in their home arena.
San Antonio will have head coach Gregg Popovich back in the fold after the bench boss missed two games due to a family medical situation. Without Pop, the Spurs saw an eight-game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Indiana Pacers in a season-worst 35.4 percent shooting night. They rebounded versus the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves, hitting on 55.3 percent of their shots in a 116-91 victory.
UNDER bettors have been loving the Spurs lately, and for good reason. In San Antonio’s last eight appearances, they’ve gone below the closing total seven times.
Bulls backers beware: this injury-plagued team is especially brutal on the road. In Chicago’s past 10 away from Illinois, they’ve gone just 2-8 ATS.
