NBA Odds: Bulls vs. Cavaliers prediction, pick, how to watch - 1/2/2023 (ClutchPoints)

The Chicago Bulls (16-20) visit the Cleveland Cavaliers (23-14) on Monday night. Action tips off at 7 p.m. ET. Below we continue our NBA odds series with a ...

For the season, Mitchell averages 28.0 points and 4.6 assists while shooting 48.4% from the field and 41.1% from 3-point range on over nine 3-point attempts per game. The Cavaliers have covered 53% of their games while 54% of their games have gone under. The Bulls have covered 50% of their games while 53% of their games have gone under. They’ve averaged 117.8 points across their last five games — 12th in the NBA over that span. Wings DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine have been the catalysts for Chicago’s improved offense of late. The Bulls scored 96 and then 102 points in their previous two games with Cleveland. Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell struggled mightily in the win (5-of-16 shooting and seven turnovers), and if the Bulls want to keep things close they’ll need to build off their strong defensive showing. Mobley would provide a huge boost and make life much more difficult on Chicago. For as good as Chicago’s defense has been, they’ll need their offense to show signs of life if they want to cover on the road against one of the best home teams in the league. They average 15.6 turnovers per game when Garland is unavailable — nearly two more than when he plays. Guards Ayo Dosunmu (five steals), Coby White (three steals), and Alex Caruso (two steals) made life very difficult for the Cavaliers all night long. Chicago battled with Cleveland in the most recent outing and has another great opportunity to keep things close again Monday.

Bulls vs. Cavaliers final score: 71-point night from Donovan Mitchell ... (Blog a Bull)

erratic ref whistles in the third quarter turn a massive halftime lead into a historic scoring tear.

The Cavs enjoyed a massive advantage in three point shooting, going 16-of-46 (34.8%) against Chicago’s 10-of-33 (30.3%) night. As he had been effectively doing all night, Mitchell drew a foul on Ayo Dosunmu (Dosunmu’s fifth) and returned to the charity stripe. He had 24 points in the third frame alone, pretty much pulverizing the Bulls from all over the floor. All looked pretty rosy in the first half. That Cavs sum is the lowest output the Bulls have allowed from an opponent in a first half this year. The Cavaliers overpowered the Bulls in overtime, winning 145-134.
