Blazers @ Bulls [ -8 / 213 ]Copied and ready to share!Glossary

March 18, 2024
Bulls | 40-44 (47.6%)
Trailblazers | 21-61 (25.6%)

Our Baller Exclusive NBA base model is a blend of several regressions, weighted to different cross-sections of the season. These regressions take into consideration stats like offensive rating, defensive rating, pace, and a variety of other factors that we feel are important in making up a team's numeric profile. While it does not factor in situations, historic matchups, and schedule into account, it is a good place to start when thinking ahout a particular matchup.

Our base model gives the Bulls (-8) a 45.2-42.9% chance of covering as a favorite, and projects the game going over 213 around 3.9-4.9% of the time, depending on how much you weight season-long vs. recent data, respectively. Looking at how the teams perform at home / on the road, the Bulls have a 52.7% chance of covering as a favorite at home, and the game has a 3.4% chance of going over the total.
