Chicago Bulls vs Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Betting Preview
The Cavaliers are just about out of reasons to put the peddle down, but their magic number to secure the 1-seed is one.
I’m not interested in the spread, though. The Bulls have been competitive, the Cavaliers are coming off a loss.
I love the over in this spot.
Trends:
- The over is 56% in Bulls road games this season and 59% in Cavaliers home games.
- The Bulls take an above-league-average amount of threes. The over in those teams’ games against the Cavs this year is 19-10.
Chicago can stretch the floor with their bigs against the drop coverage of the Cavaliers, and have big ball-handlers to get downhill against Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell’s recent offensive struggles don’t concern me.
I make this game 244.7.
