Monday, Feb. 13's NBA schedule includes a matchup at the United Center between the Chicago Bulls (26-30) and Orlando Magic (23-34) at 8 p.m. ET.

The Bulls return home following three consecutive road losses, most recently losing 97-89 to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Meanwhile, this is the start of a two-game road trip for the Magic, who are coming off a 107-103 overtime loss to the Miami Heat.

Bulls vs. Magic Prediction & Pick

The Bulls have been far from perfect this season, but their recent home play has been admirable. They're 6-3 in their last nine games at United Center, averaging 119.3 points on 51.6% shooting. Further evidence of the Bulls' play can be seen by the fact that they've outscored their opponents by a 7.9-point average over that stretch.

Nevertheless, the Magic have more momentum with a 6-4 record in their last 10 games, which includes wins over the Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers. They've also won each of their last two road outings and already defeated the Bulls 108-107 in Chicago earlier this season

On top of being the better team lately, the Magic have also won 10 of their last 14 trips to the 'Windy City.' With the Bulls looking vulnerable lately, I see Orlando pulling off the upset.

Final Score Prediction: Magic: 114 | Bulls: 110

Bulls vs. Magic Best Bet

As far as the best bet goes, I expect fewer points than projected tonight. For starters, the under is 6-1 in each team's last seven games. The under is also 4-1 in the Magic's last five road games, as well as 9-1 in the Bulls' previous 10 against Eastern Conference foes.

If that isn't convincing enough, the total has hit the under in 15 of the last 20 Magic-Bulls matchups. Considering how they've combined for fewer than 225.5 points in 10 of their last 11 meetings in Chicago, backing the under is the best option tonight.

Bet: Under 225.5 Points (-110)
