Bet on Bulls vs. Cavaliers

The Cavaliers are coming off a bizarre loss to the Magic and will want to be much better on both ends of the floor, but specifically defensively. Look for them to bottle up the Bulls, which are coming off a dreadful offensive effort and simply do not have go-to scorers. Cleveland might not cover the spread, but its defense should keep the total under the number.
