Bulls vs. Cavaliers Prediction and Pick
When these two teams played two weeks ago, the Bulls were able to win by 10 points -- and that was without Zach LaVine. He's back in the lineup and should give the Cavaliers' defense a lot of fits.
Over the last 10 games, the Cavaliers and Bulls have had equally bad defenses. They rank 21st and 22nd in defensive rating. Cleveland has the better offense, but it truly depends on how efficient Darius Garland is. While he's picked up the slack for the Cavaliers' offense, some nights he can take a lot of shots to get there. Unless Garland is on top of his game tonight -- which will be hard with Alex Caruso guarding him -- the Bulls will get trounced tonight.
Chicago has won the last two matchups in this series, covering in both games it won. As the underdog tonight, expect another win and cover from the Bulls.
Lean: Bulls ML (+110)
