Bulls vs Cavaliers Preview
Chicago will travel to Cleveland on Saturday for a battle versus the Cavaliers. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Sunday’s game, check out our Cavaliers vs Bulls preview below.
Chicago Needs To Wake Up
The Chicago Bulls have certainly not played the brand of basketball that they were hoping for down the stretch.
They’re going to be coming into this one on a two-game losing streak and have only managed to win three of their last 10 games. They ended up losing by nearly 20 points to a below-average New Orleans Pelicans team on Thursday, even with Zach LaVine scoring 39 points.
On the season, Chicago has the 17th net rating, the 10th rated offensive rating, and the 22nd rated defensive rating.
Cavaliers Also Need To Be Better
The Cleveland Cavaliers are another team that hasn’t been able to play the brand of basketball that they were hoping for down the stretch.
Cleveland is going to be coming in only winning five of their last 10 games, and lost their last one to the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. This is a game that Cleveland wanted to win considering that Toronto could jump them in the Eastern Conference standings in the upcoming days.
On the season, Cleveland has the 11th rated net rating, the 20th rated offensive rating, and the fourth rated defensive rating.

For this game, I’m going to go with the Chicago Bulls to cover the spread. Personally, I think this is going to be the most difficult game of the night to bet on.
Both teams have been playing below-average basketball as of late, but when factoring in the injuries that the Cavaliers are dealing with, I have to give the slight edge to Chicago in this one.
