Chicago at Cleveland

Premium Pick

The Cleveland Cavs become immediate contenders, and Championship caliber, when LeBron James and Kevin Love moved in this season, or have they. The Cavs have sure had problems finding that team chemistry and keep making moves that seems to extend the process. The Bulls have played well all season as Derrick Rose has been available more than he has for two years, despite some on-going injuries. The Bulls are just 3-8 ATS when he doesn't play, and he certainly gives them a lift when he is in the line up. Chicago has played very well on the road at 15-5 and have covered seven of their last 10 outside of Chicago. The struggling Cavs, a woeful 3-12 ATS after allowing 100+, have not dug in on the defensive end. Play on Chicago.
