Wagering Odds
Point Spread: Cavaliers -5.5
O/U Total: 194.5

The Chicago Bulls will try to make it two in a row at the Quicken Loans Arena after taking the series opener 99-92 as a 4.5 point underdog. The Game 2 betting odds have the Cavaliers once again as the betting line favorite at a surprisingly higher -5.5.

It will be interesting to see if it was Chicago’s defense or the rust from the long layoff that resulted in the low scoring by Cleveland. The Cavs shot only 42% from the field and a poor 26.9% from 3-point land. The low scoring in the game can’t be blamed on Kyrie Irving who contributed a game high 30 points. Lebron James will need to step it up after scoring only 19 points in Game and turning the ball over 6 times.

Chicago must be ecstatic with their shooting with a solid 50% from the field and a shocking 55.6% from behind the arc. Their shooting from the charity stripe could be better, but overall the offense did a fantastic job. Three players scored in the 20’s led by Derrick Rose with 25, Pau Gasol with 21 and Jimmy Butler with 20.

The win by the visiting Bulls was the second road win in this matchup over the five games played in this series this season. The point spread cover was Chicago’s third in a row in this matchup after Cleveland won and covered the first two games. The under in Game 1 was the third in the last four matches for these two clubs.
