LiontipsCleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls: betting tip and bets on the NBA match
Command Analysis
Current form
Cleveland claimed the Central Division title for the first time since 2018, and under new coach Kenny Atkinson, they started the season with a mind-blowing streak of 15 consecutive wins. At home, the Cavaliers were simply impenetrable — 36 wins with only 5 losses. Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland and Evan Mobley — all three made it to the 2025 All-Star Game, and Mobley also won the title of the best defender of the year.
Cleveland's attack was the most powerful in the East. In the playoffs, they easily dealt with the Miami Heat in the first round, but stumbled in the second - Indiana turned out to be trickier. The team spent the offseason wisely: they signed Lonzo Ball and retained Sam Merrill.
Interesting facts for betting
Cleveland is averaging 123.8 points per game (statistics for the last ten games).
Current form
But Chicago's 2024-25 season turned out to be more difficult. The final record is 39-43, 9th place in the East and relegation in the play-in tournament. The game wasn't going well at home, but the Bulls showed their teeth on the road. In the offseason, the team decided to shake things up: they brought back Isaac Okoro from Cleveland to strengthen the defense, selected promising Lachlan Olbrich in the draft and signed several young players. There are proven fighters like Nikola Vucevic and Kobe White in the squad, and talents like Patrick Williams and Ayo Dosunmu are growing next to them.
Interesting facts for betting
Chicago is averaging 114.4 points per game (statistics from the last ten games).

1.88Tip and bets
The Bulls are in the search for themselves, their firepower and stability are inferior to their opponent. They can show character without serious injuries, but there's not much chance against such a Cleveland. Last season's face-to-face meetings make it clear that the Cavaliers know how to deal with an opponent.
Our prediction is that Cleveland will win with a handicap of (-5.5) points in 1.71
