Command Analysis

Chicago Bulls

Current form
The Bulls have been holding the tenth place in the Eastern Conference for almost the entire season. The team has survived the departure of Zach Lavigne and a number of injuries, but each time it finds the strength to return to the ranks.
Chicago recently had a great match against Toronto, which ended with a 125:115 overtime victory. Kobe White performed well offensively and scored 24 points. After that, the bulls had another duel, but they failed to give Indiana a fight (112:127). Billy Donovan's team's game is more like a swing, because it's hard to remember when the band performed consistently. There is a confrontation ahead with the leader of the East, Cleveland, and, most likely, another setback.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
In 3 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, the Bulls celebrated the victory.
Approximate composition: Bouzelis-Terry, Collins-Giddy, White.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Current form
The Cavaliers feel comfortable leading the Eastern Conference. The team has found a balance between defense and attack, so it is not surprising to see such a result.
Recently, Cleveland beat its closest rival, Boston, in a spectacular match (123:116) and showed who is in charge in the East now. We must pay tribute to Donovan Mitchell, who scored 41 points and was the main reason for the team's victory. After that, the Cavalrymen had some problems, but they still managed to defeat Portland in overtime (133-129). Kenny Atkinson's players are doing well, and the trip to Chicago is ahead.

1.93Tip and bets
Chicago will defend its right to play in the playoffs to the last, that is, the tenth place in the East. The team is capable of showing character from time to time, but it is unlikely that this will work in a match against the leader.
Cleveland is an excellent student of opponents and knows how to tune into the game. Every time the club finds the motivation to go out on the floor and show class, although it is unlikely that it will lose its leadership in the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers have already scored 50 wins this season. We assume that the guests will deal with the opponent. The difference in class between the teams will be immediately noticeable.
Our betting tip is a victory for Cleveland, taking into account the handicap (-11) points in 1.72
Bet on the total
It's hard to expect a stable performance from Chicago. The club is operating within its capabilities, and there aren't many of them right now. Cleveland is showing good coordination and has reached the point where the head coach can rest key players, as the nearest rival is far behind. We assume that the guests will not have to give their best, so we do not expect a productive confrontation. We suggest betting on a total of less.
Betting Tip - total less than 247.5 points for 1.71
Betting on statistics
The Cavaliers haven't lost in ten consecutive games. Of course, a lot of effort has been spent during this period. Most likely, Chicago will close in on defense, and Cleveland will have to try hard to undermine the opponent's defense, and this will affect the performance. In our opinion, the guests will not break through the individual total.
Prediction – Cleveland's individual total is less than 128.5 points per 1.90
