Bulls vs Cavaliers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse at 8:00 PM ET on Saturday, March 26, 2022.
Why Bet The Bulls:
✅ DeMar DeRozan returns from a one-game absence caused by a left adductor strain, and his presence should be crucial in this tough matchup with the Cavaliers’ defense. DeRozan, who’s averaging 27.6 points per game in 2021-22, has surpassed a 25-point mark only once in his last six outings, and that one-game rest should help him to get back on the right track. A couple of weeks ago, DeMar led the way for Chicago in a 101-91 home win over Cleveland, accounting for 25 points, six assists, and a plus-12 net rating.
✅ Chicago has scored only 108.8 points per 100 possessions over its last four outings, and I’m expecting the Bulls to break out of their funk sooner rather than later. The Bulls own the ninth-highest offensive rating in the NBA, tallying 113.3 points per 100 possessions. They rank second in field goal percentage (48.1%) and first in 3-point percentage (37.3%).

✅ The Bulls have been awful against the spread lately, and the Cavaliers haven’t impressed either. While Chicago is 2-11 ATS in its last 13 outings, Cleveland is 5-11-1 in its previous 17. The Bulls are 0-9 ATS over their last nine outings on the road, and that terrible streak will eventually have to come to an end. Cleveland, on the other side, has gone 3-5-1 ATS in its previous nine showings on the home court.
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls have dropped five of their last six games. They are the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference, but both Cleveland and Toronto are only one game behind the Bulls. Just a few weeks ago, the Bulls were topping the East.
Chicago is coming off a heavy 126-109 defeat at New Orleans. Zach LaVine went off for 39 points on 12-for-23 shooting from the field, but the Bulls fell apart down the stretch, allowing a whopping 40 points in the fourth quarter.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers are looking to avoid their third consecutive defeat. After losing to the Los Angeles Lakers 131-120 as five-point home favorites, the Cavs suffered a 117-104 defeat at Toronto last Thursday, failing to cover a 5.5-point spread.
Cleveland couldn’t make stops against the Raptors, forcing just nine turnovers. Also, Toronto went 16-for-37 from downtown (43.2%). Lauri Markkanen was the Cavs’ top scorer with 20 points on 6-for-10 shooting from the field and 6-for-6 from the free-throw line, while Darius Garland posted a double-double of 18 points and ten assists.
