Sports betting had been up and down on the Chicago Bulls this season as the team is right around the 500 mark.It might be that the Bulls start to go down in sports betting online since forward Joakim Noah is expected to miss the next three weeks.
Sports betting had the Bulls at 30-28-2 this season against the NBA point spread. Whether they can maintain their position in the Eastern Conference will be interesting to watch in sports betting as the Bulls will be without Noah who has a plantar fasciitis in his left foot. “It’s a very difficult injury,” Chicago head coach Vinny Del Negro said, “It’s very difficult to treat. He might rest for three weeks, he might rest for two months and come back and it’s still bothering him. Rest will help usually, no question. But he’s got to come back, fight through the pain. We’ll give him a few weeks and hopefully he reacts better to that sooner. But that’s the plan right now.”
Noah leads the Bulls in rebounding this sports betting online season. He has not played in the past two Chicago games and the Bulls were blown out in sports betting. Noah is averaging 10.7 points and 11.4 rebounds a game as sports betting online stats indicated. “I don’t know if you do replace him,” Del Negro said. “He’s the second-leading rebounder in the whole NBA. And brings a lot of energy, a great spirit to the game for us. Gets us up possessions. Gets us out on the break. His offense has been developing all year and his development overall has been [good].”
If you are going to consider taking the Bulls in sports betting those words from Del Negro don’t sound very encouraging. And the last two games definitely don’t give you any sports betting online confidence in Chicago. “It’s a big loss, but other guys have to step up, and we’re going to have to manage it. This biggest concern is rebounding the basketball. When we play bigger front lines, not having his length back there is an issue.” Del Negro said.
Chicago is not a deep basketball team with a lot of talent. They have held it together so far in sports betting but losing Noah could be big. They will need even more out of Derrick Rose and Luol Deng down the stretch if they are to win in sports betting. And they will have to find a way to rebound the basketball.
