Cleveland Cavaliers vs Chicago Bulls 1/18/2020 Betting Odds
Cleveland Cavaliers BettingThe Cavs lost their last three games in their Western Conference swing. They are a team that is quite lost in what is happening so far with them. Kevin Love is the highest-paid player for this team and he, when healthy, can provide the team a double-double. Tristan Thompson is the muscle in the paint as he was even considered as one of the best rebounders in the league back then. The young core of Darius Garland and Collin Sexton seems to be working well but the big problem for the Cavs are the bench players. It is too shallow and once the starters sit down, their opponents begin to work on them and put in the lead. Against the Bulls, they should give space to Sexton to operate on the offense but they have to battle for the boards as well to get the advantage. Players to watch: C.

Zach Lavine has proved to the entire NBA that he can carry a team but he was given mules to ride on as compared to the other team’s horses. Lauri Markkanen is a solid player but they were expecting him to level up his production but he was underwhelming thus far. This should be a game that the Bulls can win and with the right decisions, they will overcome the Cavs in this game. Winning the boards will be the key and limiting the guards’ production against them will be huge as well. Players to Watch: Z.
