THE HOT CORNER
[MAL VAN VALKENBURG REVIEW-JOURNAL, 32-26-2 (overall record)]
Today’s best bet: L.A. Clippers (+7) over CHICAGO BULLS
The Chicago Bulls started out sluggish, losing their first three games. The Clippers have won their first two games. The Clippers play a higher-paced offense and should dictate the tempo of the game. It’s going to be tough for the Bulls to just get the win, let alone cover a big number. They lost twice last season to the Clippers.
