Cleveland Cavaliers vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been a buzzsaw through 13 games, and they’re 9-4 ATS, so they’re not a team I’m excited to bet against. However, this is a lot of points for a tournament game and these clubs played each other a few days ago and the Bulls lost by 6 points. Also, the underdog has covered 5 of the last 8 games between the Cavs and Bulls. The Cavaliers are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games as a double-digit favorite. Give me the Bulls and points.
