Two of the most electrifying players in the NBA will do battle on Monday when Jimmy Butler and the Chicago Bulls play host to Russell Westbrook’s Oklahoma City Thunder. Sportsbooks opened the Bulls as 1-point home chalk with an OVER/UNDER of 209.5.

- The total has gone UNDER in six of the Bulls' last eight games after consecutive wins.
- The total has gone UNDER in 10 of the Thunder's last 14 games against the Bulls.
Butler is averaging 34.2 points in the last six games and led Chicago to wins over the top two teams in the Eastern Conference in Cleveland and Toronto in the last two contests. Butler scored 14 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter during Wednesday’s triumph over the Cavs and put together 42 points, 10 rebounds and five assists vs the Raptors on Saturday.
