Why we like this pick
Charlotte +1.25: Chicago should win this at home, but big wins are not their habit. They have won by 2 or more in only 4 of their last 18 games. Charlotte are weaker on the road, but they have lost by 2 or more just 4 times in 19. A 2-1 Chicago win looks likely, so Charlotte should keep it close.
