What to Know
The Chicago Bulls will hit the road for the third straight game as they head to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse at 8 p.m. ET Saturday. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
The contest between the Bulls and the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday was not a total blowout, but with Chicago falling 126-109 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Shooting guard Zach LaVine put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 39 points.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Toronto Raptors on the road by a decisive 117-104 margin. Small forward Lauri Markkanen (20 points) and point guard Darius Garland (18 points) were the top scorers for Cleveland. That’s the fourth consecutive game in which Darius Garland has had at least ten assists.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Chicago is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.
Chicago beat Cleveland 101-91 in the teams’ previous meeting earlier this month. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulls since the squad won’t have home-court advantage. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
