CAVALIERS vs. BULLS

Time: Thursday 8 ET
Venue: United Center, Chicago
Spread: Bulls -2
Over/Under: 193

Team records:
Cleveland: 61-17 SU, 36-40-2 ATS
Chicago: 37-40 SU, 39-36-2 ATS

In the TNT opener, Chicago continues its long-shot big to steal the 8th and final Eastern Conference playoff spot from sagging Toronto.

Not many teams can survive a 10-game losing streak and make the playoffs – the Bulls went winless from Feb. 27 to March 19.

Last game out Cleveland covered as 5.5-point home favorites, while the teams played OVER the 205.5-point total set by oddsmakers. IN their next games the Cavs are home to Indiana, Friday, April 9th, and the Bulls are at New Jersey, Friday as well.

Betting Trends:

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Cleveland’s last 5 games when playing Chicago
Cleveland is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games when playing Chicago
Cleveland is 17-7 SU in its last 24 games on the road
Cleveland is 12-2 SU in its last 14 games
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Chicago’s last 7 games at home
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Chicago’s last 10 games
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Chicago’s last 5 games when playing Cleveland
Chicago is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games when playing at home against Cleveland

THURSDAY NIGHT BEST NBA PARLAY BET:

One more concern for the Lakers – they are only a half-game ahead of Orlando for the 2nd-best overall record and the home-court edge that would come with it if they were to meet in The Finals.

Still, the big problem with these guys is indeed focus. “It doesn’t bode well for the playoffs or building momentum, but we can’t seem to put together a good game from one opponent to the next,” said Jackson.

Denver is beaten up a bit (Kenyon Martin and Chris Andersen are game-time decisions) and played a tough game last night in Oklahoma City.

Suggested play here is LA getting the 2. If you like parlays, the under is worth a shot as it’s to Denver’s advantage to control clock.
