Cleveland Cavaliers at Chicago Bulls Prediction

The Cavs are winners of just one of their last four games and have covered the spread in just one of their last six. They’re coming off of two embarrassing double digit losses and are laying points on the road? Chicago has won all three meetings this season and while Cleveland could wake up here, I feel comfortable taking the home side and the points.
