Cleveland Cavaliers (30-6) @ Chicago Bulls (17-22)

While the Boston Celtics have slumped, the Cleveland Cavaliers have maintained their torrid winning pace.

The Cavs have only lost six games on the season but two of those losses have come in their last six games.

Cleveland is a big nine-point favorite on the road in Chicago and they haven’t fared well in this role. They lost three of their last four games outright as a road favorite of 6.5 to nine points.

Sports betting handicappers should beware because the Cavs have just cover 31 of their last 73 in this situation.

The Bulls are reeling right now, winning just four of their last 12 games. Even more of a concern is that they are just 3-8 against the spread in their last 11, which indicates that when they are losing, they aren’t even close.

The Bulls may be a young team without an identity and without much leadership, but expect them to bring their best effort on a nationally televised game on Thursday Night Basketball.

Pick: Chicago Bulls +8
