The LA Clippers (39-36) look to close out a four-game homestand with a win when they face the Chicago Bulls (36-38) in NBA action on Monday, March 27.

The Clippers aim for a bounce-back performance after falling 131-110 to the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday. Meanwhile, Zach LaVine's 32-point effort in a 118-108 win over the Los Angeles Lakers helped the Bulls win for the fifth time in their last six games.

Clippers vs. Bulls Prediction & Pick

The Bulls have caught fire at the right time. Their success over the last six games comes from strong play on both sides of the ball. Chicago has scored at least 118 points three times over that stretch while holding opponents to 108 points or fewer in four of the last five.

It's also hard to trust the Clippers when they've been alternating between wins and losses over the last five games. They're also just 1-3 in their last four home games, tallying a minus-9.0 scoring margin in those losses.

Momentum is on the road team's side, so back the Bulls to pull off the upset.

Final Score Prediction: Bulls: 116 | Clippers: 113

Clippers vs. Bulls Best Bet

With an upset in the cards tonight, I'm going with Chicago at +4.5 on the spread as the best bet. Not only are the Bulls 5-1 ATS in their last six games, but they've also covered in five of their previous seven meetings with the Clippers. LA has only covered the spread twice in its last five outings while going 17-21 ATS at crypto.com Arena this season.

In what should be a close game, taking the Clippers as spread underdogs is the right choice.

Bet: Clippers +4.5 (-110)
