The Cleveland Cavaliers (20-35) visit the Chicago Bulls (22-33) at United Center at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Cavaliers-Bulls odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
The Cavaliers have been rather erratic lately, finding tremendous success on the road, while struggling on their home floor. Since April 5, Cleveland is 3-0 SU/ATS in away games, while going 0-3 SU/1-2 ATS in three contests at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
The Bulls are coming off a 126-115 licking from the Memphis Grizzlies, and Chicago is on a five-game skid while also going 0-5 ATS. The last time these teams faced each other in Chi-Town, the Cavs came away with a 103-94 win as 7.5-point underdogs.

Cavaliers at Bulls: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Cavaliers 111, Bulls 107
Money line (ML)
The CAVALIERS (+105) are worth playing straight up, as they have been money on the road with three straight away victories in San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Charlotte since April 5.
The Bulls (-125) were also topped by the Cavs 103-94 at United Center on March 24, and Cleveland is a lot healthier this time around.

Against the spread (ATS)
Playing the Cavaliers +1.5 (-110) catching the point-and-a-half doesn’t make much sense vs. playing the money line. You win more on the ML, and unless you absolutely feel Chicago will win by just one point, there is no reason to play the spread.
PASS.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 212.5 (-110) is the best play on the board in this matchup. The Over has cashed in five of the past seven games for the Cavs and four of the past five for the Bulls.
