Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Chicago Bulls (7:00 pm ET, TNT)
The Cleveland Cavaliers will lock horns in the NBA Playoff series when they face the Chicago Bulls for Game 3 at United Center, Chicago on Thursday night (7:00 pm ET, TNT). The fixed odds NBA betting for Cavs is -3.5 points.
Cleveland leads the series by 2-0. That doesn’t mean it is an easy sweep for the Cavs. With Bulls ranked at 23rd in shooting percentage so one can expect a lot of rebounds. Mo Williams and LeBron’s are the key players for the Cavs. It is the offensive sidekick of LeBron’s plays well then one can expect the game to get over soon. Cleveland is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games and is third in the league in field goal percentage at 48.5. They have to work out on their 72 .0 throw percentage though.
The Bulls really need to get Game 3. It will bring them confidence and some lost life back. They were 12-26 versus playoff teams this season and have actually won five of 10 dating with the Cavs in 2008 so they will definitely play hard at every point of the game. Luol Deng and Derrick Rose are the two to match out. Deng has been in good form and is excellent sidekick. The Bulls are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a SU loss. The Over is 7-1 in the Bulls last 8 playoff games as the listed underdog. Bulls have to toil hard in field gold percentage and throw percentage.
As for now it seems Cavs have an edge but it is better not to rule Bulls out of the picture. For Cavs an easy sweep isn’t that easy.
