LiontipsCleveland vs Chicago. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Cavaliers are on the bottom of Eastern conference so they are in deep trouble. Team have already accepted it's fate and there's nothing gonna change this season.
Cleveland can't win at home for three last games. Despite their best effort, Cavaliers lost to Golden State (101:119), Chicago (96:106) and Detroit (105:109). Collin Sexton has done well for the team, but he can't do it all alone.
Cavs are unlikely to put up a top-notch performance towards the end of the season, but they will probably be motivated to take revenge against Chicago for a loss in previous game.
Bulls are fighting for a play-off position. Team is going back-and-forth between the tenth place and the lower part of the standings. Zach Lavine's injury weakened the team and they lost a few matches after it.
But Chicago managed to recover and start to get back on winning terms. Recently signed Nikola Vucevic broke into starting line-up and became a team leader. Club won two matches in a row beating Cleveland (106:96) and Boston (102:96).
Bulls will again try to show classy performance to Cavaliers and if they will manage to keep their strong defensive game they should be able to win this.

Tip and bets
Cleveland's players lost their self-confidence and is just failed to compete. Club's board will count on new young players, but during that season Cavs are unlikely to impress. Chicago is able to win even without Zach Lavine plus Billie Donovan's side already knows about Cavs' weakest links. We offer to bet on guests' victory.
Our prediction is on Chicago to win (with OT).
Recent head-to-head game showed that teams are not playing flashy basketball. Both of them are counting on defense and haven't to put up high amount of points. We can expect the same from today's game so we offer to bet on total under.
Our second bet - total under 216.5 points.
