The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls do battle at the United Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Cleveland Cavaliers vs Chicago Bulls Prediction. This article will include a Cleveland Cavaliers vs Chicago Bulls Pick.

Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been on fire as they've won 14 of their last 15 games overall and they will be eager to build on their current 10-game win streak after sneaking past the Trail Blazers in a 133-129 overtime home win on Sunday. De'Andre Hunter led the team with 32 points, Ty Jerome added 25 points with six assists and six steals off the bench while Evan Mobley chipped in with 20 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 43 percent from the field and 19 of 46 from the 3-point line. They scored just 18 points in the second quarter to fall behind by 18 points, but they rallied with 40 points in the fourth quarter to force overtime where they scored the first five points to escape with the gritty home win. The Cavs will play against the Heat, Hornets, and Bucks following this one.

Chicago Bulls Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in a real slump as they've lost eight of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting beaten by the Pacers in a 127-112 road defeat on Sunday. Coby White led the team with 26 points on 10 of 18 shooting, Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey each scored 18 points while Zach Collins chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Bulls shot 50 percent from the field and 10 of 33 from the 3-point line as they got off to a flyer and poured in 67 points in the first half to take the early lead. However, they couldn't maintain that pace and scored just 20 points in the fourth quarter to allow the Pacers to pull away.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

The Cavaliers are expecting to have Donovan Mitchell back in the lineup after he was rested on Sunday, but they have decided to rest Evan Mobley for this one. The Bulls are keeping an eye on Josh Giddey, Kevin Huerter, and Lonzo Ball, who are all questionable. The Cavaliers have been the hottest team in the league, they survived a scare from the Trail Blazers in a tough overtime win on Sunday, and they should have Mitchell back in action for this one. In contrast, the Bulls have been in terrible form, and they are coming into this meeting fresh off another blowout loss, so it's no surprise to see the Cavaliers so heavily favored in this one. Mobley is so underrated on both ends of the floor, but I still think the Cavaliers have more than enough firepower to make mince meat of this line.
