TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17TH
#543 SAN ANTONIO (+1′) over Chicago at 8 PM EST
With plenty of steam off Wednesday’s SU and ATS victory over the Pistons in the Motor City, the Spurs will head to Chi-Town and do a number on the Bulls. Chicago enters this non-conference battle off back-to-back SU and ATS wins over Toronto and Oklahoma City and Da Bulls are in prime position to fall.
Considering the Spurs have lost two straight in this series, it won’t take much for San Antonio to get motivated for this contest. Even with those blemishes, the Spurs own a respectable 35-22 SU and 31-24-2 ATS mark in the last 57 meetings including an elite 18-11 SU and 20-8-1 ATS in this run provided the Bulls take the court off a pointspread win. Also, on the road competing against an opponent that owns a team won/loss percentage less than .500, San Antonio sports a money-making 190-61 SU and 147-91-6 ATS record provided its foe scoots in off the comforts of a home game. If the Spurs are matched up against an opponent that arrives off a straight up win as well, this team trend jets to an awesome 65-36-1 ATS mark.
This is a tough situation for Chicago. For starters, in their last 11 checking in off back-to-back SU and ATS wins, the Bulls hold a soft 2-9 SU and 3-8 ATS record. Also, inside the United Center, Chicago owns a surprising 31-60 SU and 33-56-2 ATS in its last 91 games. In this spot running the floor against a foe that holds a team won/loss percentage of .475 or better, the Bulls fall to an ugly 5-35 SU and 9-31 ATS. With those two parameters live and Da Bulls entering off a home game, this team trend crashes to a jaw-dropping 1-23 SU and 3-21 ATS.
In a double revenge mode, the Spurs will hit the court well prepared and they’ll pull off this minor upset. Take San Antonio. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
