Bulls at Cavaliers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Bulls 108, Cavaliers 101
Money line (ML)
The BULLS (-135) are playing much better basketball lately, and they’re the play straight up against the skidding Cavaliers (+110).
They just topped Cleveland by 10 in Chitown on Saturday, and there is no reason to believe this rematch will go another way.

Against the spread (ATS)
The BULLS -2 (-110) have covered in two in a row against the Cavs and Celtics, and they should be able to build upon their momentum from the giant win in Beantown last time out.
The Cavaliers +2 (-110) have been dumped in three straight, and they’re 1-5 SU and 2-4 ATS across the past six. There is just no reason to believe in the erratic Cavs at this point.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 211.5 (-110) is the lean here, as the Under has cashed for both sides on a frequent basis lately.
The Under has hit in each of Chicago’s past two wins, and in their past eight victories, the Under has hit in seven of the outings. The Under is 3-0-1 in Cleveland’s past four, and each of the previous two meetings in this series.
