Cleveland at Chicago

There are only three NBA teams giving up more points per game than the Bulls, who allow 120.3 points. Chicago just surrendered 139 points to the Raptors last night. That was 25 more points than Toronto's season average. The Bulls aren't likely to fare any better defensively today against the Cavaliers, who have a much better offense than the Raptors. Cleveland is the third-highest scoring team in the league, averaging 119.2 points per game. The Cavaliers' defense has been shoddy lately, though, and Chicago's frenzied style of play can bother them. The Bulls play at the third-fastest tempo in the league. Cleveland gave up 116 points to the Bucks in its last game and 130 points to the Mavericks at home in the game before that. Just four games ago, the Cavaliers surrendered 128 points to the Magic, an average scoring team. Point guard Josh Giddey is playing at a high level for the Bulls. He has produced four triple-doubles in his last six games. Take the OVER.
