at Chicago (-3.5) vs Portland

The Blazers have been hot but they're still a young team (as the Jazz did a number on them). Portland's streak was against weak opponents and they played most of those games at home.

The Bulls had a solid comeback last night led by Ben Gordon and Joe Smith in the third quarter. With Gordon back to his sixth-man role, the Bulls should turn the corner and begin the righting their ship with back-to-back wins. Both teams played last night.

San Antonio (+1.5) at Denver

Spurs are too good. Denver is not yet an elite team and still won't be after tonight's game.

The Bruins' defense gets its' first true road test of the year. UCLA should hold up against the Cardinals.
