The Chicago Bulls are back in action in Cleveland for a matchup with the Cavaliers on Saturday night. The 40-26 Bulls are in fourth place in the East and the 38-27 Cavaliers are in sixth.

Chicago beat Cleveland in early January by 13 points. DeMar DeRozan scored a game-high 30, while Nikola Vucevic had 22 points and 12 rebounds.

The Bulls lost to Cleveland on Dec. 8, 116-92. This is the third of four matchups between the two sides.

The Cavs are coming off a three-point win over the Indiana Pacers. Darius Garland led Cleveland with a career-high 41 points and added 13 assists. Evan Mobley scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds while Lauri Markkanen added 21 points.

On Saturday night, Cleveland will be without Jarrett Allen (finger) and Caris LeVert (foot).

Lonzo Ball (knee), Alex Caruso (wrist), and Patrick Williams (wrist) are out for the Bulls. Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) and Ayo Dosunmu (adductor) is questionable.

Chicago Bulls vs. Cleveland Cavaliers betting odds, spread, over/under

Chicago Bulls vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Bulls are recently snapped a five-game losing streak. Four of the five losses in that drought came at the hands of elite teams. They lost by an average of six points per contest. Their recent win against the Pistons gave them the momentum needed to finish the season strong.

If Vucevic doesn’t play, the Bulls need Tristan Thompson to free up star guards DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine in the pick and roll. The Bulls bigs will play a key role in neutralizing the Cavs’ interior threats.

We’re taking the Bulls -3 and over 221 points.

Chicago 120, Cleveland 116.

The Bulls-Cavaliers game won’t be broadcast on national television, but it will be available on NBC Chicago and Bally Sports Ohio. Tip-off is slated for 8:00 p.m. ET.
