Bulls at Cavaliers picks and predictions
Prediction
Cavaliers 115, Bulls 109
Moneyline
I wouldn’t recommend taking the Cavaliers to win at the current odds as I’d PASS on the moneyline unless it changes to -150 or better. Even though I don’t advise taking the moneyline at the current odds, taking Cleveland to win in a parlay at the current odds is fine.
CAVALIERS -4.5 (-102) is where I’m leaning in this game as Cleveland plays much better at home. The Cavaliers are 16-4 at home compared to the Bulls being 7-11 on the road.
Over/Under
It was a low-scoring game on Saturday between the Bulls and the Cavaliers, but OVER 221.5 (-105) is an enticing wager. G Donovan Mitchell scored only 15 points in Saturday’s meeting and I expect him to have a much better performance on Monday.
The Cavaliers have hit the Over in each of their last 4 home games. Also, the Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between the Bulls and the Cavaliers when the game is in Cleveland.
