Chicago at Cleveland

Chicago struggled with a banged up Milwaukee team, 1-2 SU/ATS the last three games despite being favored by 4 or more. Derrick Rose struggled in Games 4 and 5, committing 14 turnovers and shooting 30 percent in those two games.  This team is prone to offensive slumps and now they step up from a mediocore Bucks team to the No. 2 seed Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James. The Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS at home vs. a team with a winning road record. Cleveland won the season series 3-1, with a 114-108 win at Chicago and a pair of wins on this court, 99-94 and 108-94. Cleveland is rested and the Cavaliers are 8-3 ATS playing on three or more days rest, so grab King James and home court. Play Cleveland in Game 1.
