(NBA) Chicago vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: 6.00 | -107.00 Chicago (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Chicago Bulls.

I played the Bulls in Game 1 and if you did not get a chance to read that analysis, it's worth a second look here, as for the most part, the reasoning behind it also directly pertains to tonight's selection:

While I obviously feel that the outright win isn't out of the question in this one, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I look for the visitors to at the very least, sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the handful of points that they've been afforded. Yesterday I had a play on the Golden State Warriors and stated that the absence of guard Mike Conley in the Memphis Grizzlies line-up was a major situational factor that was working in our favor and suffice it to say, with two starters sitting out for the Cavaliers, the same line of reasoning also applies in this one. Not only will Cleveland be without the services of big man Kevin Love, but it's also not played in eight days; I think rest turns to rust here. The Bulls in contrast are healthier than they've been in the last three years and have played twice in the last eight days. The stars have truly aligned for Chicago, I think its depth will be just too much for LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in Game 1; play on CHICAGO.

Both Love and JR Smith will once again be sitting this one out, meaning that James and Irving will once again have to carry the majority of the load. And once again, I think this is simply too much to be asking of them, Chicago's depth at this point of the season is something that the Cavaliers are going to have an extremely hard time over-coming, the only way this team wins is if both James and Irving have monstrous nights. I'll gladly grab the points here. And note that Chicago is 13-7 ATS in its last 20 vs. good offensive teams that score 99-plus points per contest, while Cleveland is a poor 7-12 ATS in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent this season. Play on the BULLS.
