Cavaliers vs Bulls Prediction

The Cavaliers aren’t covering numbers so far this season, so I’m not excited to lay a big number with them on the end of a back-to-back. However, the Bulls are on the end of a back-to-back of their own, and they’re getting killed defensively all of a sudden. I was hesitant about the way the Bulls started the season, and we’re starting to see them come back to earth a bit. It takes more than one hot week to turn me into a believer. I’ve done this for a while. Uh, give me the Cavs and the reasonable number, but there are better options out there on Saturday.
