The Chicago Bulls are enjoying a nice week, but I still lack confidence in them, especially on defense, and they're on the end of a back to back, which doesn't help. The Cleveland Cavaliers have the rest advantage they're easily the more trustworthy team, and they win by an average of 7.6 points in the favorite role. The line is reasonable. Give me the Cavs.
