The Cleveland Cavaliers built a 22-point lead and it truly showed the difference between them and the Bulls. The talent on the Cavs won the game by 13 points despite being held scoreless for over eight minutes. The Cavs were a team in the playoffs just because of LeBron, but now they are a team that happens to have LeBron, and so much more. It has led them to a 19-6 ATS mark in their last 25 as a playoff favorite. The Bulls have had trouble with good teams, and are now 3-9 ATS vs. teams over .600. The Bulls have played to a 7-1 mark to the OVER in their last eight playoffs games as a dog, while the Cavs come in at 8-3-1 to the OVER when posted as a favorite at home from 5-10.5. The Bulls, in that same range from 5-10.5 as a dog, are 6-0 to the OVER. I'll go with the Cleveland and the OVER in this one.
