Cleveland Cavaliers vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers have yet to win a preseason game, they’re not playing a lick of defense, and they’ve lost 7 of their last 8 preseason games overall. Now I’m supposed to lay points with the Cavs? Not buying it. The Chicago Bulls have competed in every preseason game up to this point, and they’ve gotten strong performances from rotation players. I’ll gladly grab the buckets with the Bulls at home. Even if this is more of a fade of the Cavaliers than anything else.
