This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls come in off a momentum building 105-83 win over the Magic last night and we think the team keeps the foot on the gas here as well. Chicago was winless heading into last night's contest, so it will hardly be "complacent" here. Also, because it's just the first couple of weeks into the season, fatigue clearly won't be an issue in the second game of the back to back. New Orleans broke a two-game slide of its own last night with a 99-94 win over the Mavericks and clealry the Pelicans will also be looking to build off that performance. These are two hungry teams which will be pushing the pace from start to finish. Also note that New Orleans has in fact seen the total go OVER the number in 14 of its last 25 against poor offensive teams which average 98 points or less per contest, while Chicago has seen the total go OVER the number in two of its last three following a win by ten points or more. Play the OVER.
