This is a 10* TOP SIDE on the Chicago Bulls.

The Cavaliers have been great. They are 38-27 and they'll almost assuredly be in the playoffs this year.

However, this is a spot and game that favors the home side 40-26 Chicago Bulls.

Cleveland is off a 127-124 win at Indiana on the 8th, but the Cavaliers are also in action on Friday night at Miami.

Letdown spot here in Chicago for sure.

The Bulls beat Detroit 114-108 in their most recent action and they beat the Cavs by a score of 117-104 on January 19th in the team's most recent matchup.

Chicago's had an extra couple nights off, it catches the Cavs in the second game of a back-to-back and the Bulls will be risking life and limb for a win here before a difficult three-game Western road swing.

For all the reasons listed above, the play is the BULLS.

Good luck, NP
