Chicago at Cleveland

December 23, 2018
img6:05 PM Eastern

Two of the worst offenses in the NBA battle here. Chicago is last in scoring, #27 in shooting and #23 from long range. They prefer a slower pace, off a 90-80 win over Orlando allowing 39 first-half points. The previous game they held Brooklyn to 40 first-half points while scoring just 39. It won't be hard to shut down this anemic Cleveland offense that is #27 in the NBA in scoring and #25 in shooting. Chicago is on a 23-10 run UNDER the First Half total, as well as 40-20 UNDER the First Half total versus teams that allow 48% shooting or better. Play the First Half UNDER.
