Premium Pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers are 50-10 on the season, and have played well through the entire season to this point. They have a 7.5 game lead on Boston for the #1 seed in the East. They play in Chicago tonight against the fading Bulls who are 24-37 on the season, but in the top-heavy NBA East, that is good enough to make the play-in round. The Cavs defense has been sharp over their last three games where their opponents have averaged under 100ppg. The Bulls have scored well on the season, but not at home against the better teams, and I don't think they score enough here to push this one OVER the total. These teams are 11-4-1 to the UNDER in their last 16 meetings in Chicago. Make the play UNDER the total.
