Bulls vs Clippers Prediction, Odds & How to Watch – Tuesday, January 20

The Chicago Bulls are riding a three‑game home winning streak and welcome the Los Angeles Clippers to the United Center on Tuesday night. Tip‑off is set for 8 p.m. ET on CHSN and FDSSC. Oddsmakers have Chicago as a slim 1.5‑point favorite, with the total sitting at 226.5.

This matchup feels like a coin flip. The Bulls have been strong offensively, averaging 117.4 points per game, but their defense has been leaky, giving up 120.3. The Clippers, meanwhile, have caught fire recently, winning eight of their last ten and covering in seven of those. James Harden has been the driving force, while Ivica Zubac continues to dominate the glass.

Best Bet for Bulls vs Clippers

Best Bet: Clippers +1.5 (-110) at DraftKings

Chicago hasn’t been reliable when laying points. They’ve covered just six of 19 games as favorites of 1.5 or more, and their defense has been a liability all season. The Clippers, on the other hand, are thriving as underdogs, posting an 11–9 ATS record in that role.

Harden’s scoring and playmaking give L.A. a clear path to stay competitive, and Zubac’s rebounding should expose Chicago’s interior defense. With the Bulls dealing with injuries to Josh Giddey and Patrick Williams, the Clippers look like the sharper side to cover and possibly win outright.

Same‑Game Parlay Picks

3‑Leg SGP (Safer)

Clippers +1.5
James Harden 25+ points
Ivica Zubac 10+ rebounds
Combined odds: +480

Why it works: Harden has been carrying the Clippers offensively, averaging over 26 points per game. Zubac is a rebounding machine, pulling down nearly 11 boards a night. If Harden scores and Zubac controls the paint, the Clippers are in great shape to cover. These legs fit together naturally.

Longshot SGP

Clippers ML
John Collins 15+ points
Ayo Dosunmu 2+ made threes
Combined odds: +1600

Why it works: Collins has the ability to punish Chicago’s defense inside, while Dosunmu has been lights‑out from deep, hitting 45% of his threes. If the Clippers steal the win, it’s likely because their secondary scorers step up and Chicago’s shooters keep pace. That’s the scenario this longshot parlay leans into.
