Cleveland Cavaliers (30-11) hosting Chicago Bulls (24-18) in big Central Division derby.
The Cavs at home is 16-2, last game beat Clippers 115-102, but general manager David Griffin fired coach David Blatt. Blatt who leed the Cavs to the NBA Finals in 2015 and sitting at top of the Eastern Conference standings this season and have 64-20 0.732 winning percentage is the highest for a coach fired this season. Griffin said the home loss to the Warriors 98-132 and Spurs 99-95 was not a "last straw" for Blatt. IMO LeBron James is main reason for this shockingly change and can have negative effect.
Chicago Bulls on road is 8-10. They form is bad and lose 6 of the last 8 games, but this handicap is too big and i see a value on Bulls. Last game Chicago lose from Boston 110-101, they had 20 turnovers and hit only three three-pointers in 13 attempts. I think they can play much better and +10 points spread is too big. Last head to head game Bulls won 97-95.
I expect tough game, under 200 points and if Bulls lost, no more than 5-6 points.
