Saturday night at FedExForum features a matchup between two struggling squads as the Chicago Bulls visit the Memphis Grizzlies. Chicago, despite dropping four of its last five, remains favored thanks to its offensive firepower led by Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey.
The Bulls average 116.1 points per game and rank top‑10 in three‑point shooting, but their road record (2‑10 SU in their last 12 away games) is a glaring weakness. Memphis, meanwhile, has lost five straight and sits just 13‑23 at home.
Injuries to Ja Morant, Brandon Clarke, and others have left the Grizzlies shorthanded, forcing Cedric Coward and Olivier‑Maxence Prosper into larger roles.
Chicago won the last meeting 132‑107 behind Buzelis’ 29 points, and with Memphis averaging just 111 points over its last 10 games, the Bulls enter as favorites to extend their dominance.
Best Bet: Chicago Bulls -3.5 (-110) at BetMGM Sportsbook
Chicago has owned this matchup recently, winning five of its last six against Memphis and covering in five of those contests. The Bulls’ offense has been consistent, averaging 121.1 points over their last 10 games, while Memphis has struggled to score, averaging just 111 points in that span.
The Grizzlies are 0‑7 SU in their last seven against Eastern Conference opponents and 1‑8 SU in their last nine at home, highlighting their inability to defend FedExForum. Chicago’s ATS record is strong against Western Conference foes (5‑1 ATS in its last six).
Their shooting efficiency (46.8% FG) should exploit Memphis’ weakened defense. While the Bulls’ road struggles are concerning, Memphis’ injuries and lack of scoring depth tilt the balance. Laying the -3.5 with Chicago is the best bet.
Combined Odds: +285
This safer parlay leans on Chicago’s offensive leaders. Buzelis has been consistent, Giddey’s perimeter shooting stretches defenses, and pairing those with a Bulls win ties the legs together.
Combined Odds: +650
This longshot parlay banks on Memphis’ young scorers stepping up. If Coward and Prosper both hit their overs, the game pace should push past 245.5, creating a correlated play: Memphis scores enough to force a shootout, but Chicago still edges them.
