The Cavaliers had a strong start to the NBA season, but their slump continued into December. One consistent bet this season has been that Cleveland will not cover, given their 8-20 record against the point spread.
The Cavaliers have lost three of their last four games, which is especially concerning because they failed to capitalize on the Warriors' injuries. They barely managed a win against the struggling Wizards. They lost to the Hornets despite Cleveland being an 11.5 favorite in the pregame odds. On Wednesday, they lost the first game of a two-game series against the Bulls at the United Center, 111-127.
The rematch is immediate, on Friday, but this time the Bulls and Cavs will face off in Cleveland. On Wednesday, Chicago secured their 11th win of the season, again with another stellar performance from Giddey, who achieved a career-high five triple-doubles in a season. The Bulls made 14 of 36 three-point attempts against Cleveland, and Nikola Vucevic was another key contributor to the victory.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
Giddey himself said his team took advantage of the Cavaliers' recent slump. However, Cleveland coach Kenny Atkinson has called for a team to rediscover their strengths after a loss and double down on what they do well.
Donovan Mitchell appears to be the only Cavs player unaffected by the team's struggles; the Cleveland star is averaging a very high 30.7 points per game this season. Therefore, the fact that he has been added to the injured list due to illness and will almost certainly not play against Chicago suggests that the Bulls have a decent chance of winning.
Our prediction for Cavaliers vs Bulls is: Bulls +7.
