Bulls vs Cavaliers Betting Prediction
On the attacking end of the court, Chicago isn’t particularly noteworthy. Even though they are scoring the 18th most points per game, they only have the 22nd best adjusted offensive rating. Due to their 10th-best adjusted offensive rating and sixth-best team shooting %, Cleveland will also be able to score well throughout this contest.
They won’t be stopped by the Bulls, and the Cavaliers’ home form will continue. Cleveland is now (23-6) and has been hot over the past week. Take the Cavs ATS in this one.
Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers -5 (-110)
