Tues: CLE +7 at CHI

[saints1856]

Cavs have been playing some solid ball lately after the All-Star break.... I like their chance to cover tonight vs da Bulls, who have been limited to 87.6 points per game during their last 9 (which they are 3-6 SU).

Main reason I like this one: The Cavs were actually down by 22 in the third quarter against the Heat, and came back to lead by eight with under five minutes to go - I know they couldnt hold on, but I dont see da Bulls ever getting a huge lead like that, and the Cavs will stay close.

BOL tonight

BULLS SU

they have been struggling, and bounce back usually. at home too, they have been so so at home but they WILL win tonight.

im not sure if cavs cover, but bulls win

[nammertl]

Cleveland don't do too well against good defensive teams on away games. Couple that with the fact that Chicago seems to be able to do whatever they want with them.

[underal]

grabbed the ml at +352 and it is dropping. still see solid value on cavs here

[thatopdog]

irving is out

[nammertl]

i seriously think chicago ml/dallas ml parlay will cash.

[saints1856]

irving is out

Says who?

STATUS: Day-To-Day

Irving has been hindered a bit by a sore right knee of late but is not expected to miss any time, the Akron Beacon Journal reports. (about 18 hours ago)

[d2bets]

Kyrie Irving is officially OUT. Ouch for Cavs bettors.

[saints1856]

Well shit.

"Irving will not play Tuesday in Chicago due to a hyperextended right knee, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Moreover, he's questionable for Wednesday's tilt against Toronto, with Shaun Livingston getting the nod at point guard. (3 minutes ago)"

Kyrie Irving is officially OUT. Ouch for Cavs bettors.

that explains the +352 should have known the books couldn't be that far off. at least i only went in for half unit

no wonder the line is that high. was expecting around -5ish but now it makes sense cos mr irving is out

[Jgjk]

yes....the reason i don't bet there....they don't put up lines early

[saints1856]

Line was -7 earlier, just popped back up on my site at -8.5. I think I'll have to bet the other way to hedge my orginal +7 bet. Only way Cavs cover now is if the Bulls shoot as bad as they did vs OKC... not very likely

[R.P. McMurphy]

Who knows with this? Cavs star is out .. so being the nba they probably cover. On the otherside the Bulls offense looks like a bunch of special needs kids themselves and could not cover a home game vs Depaul if they played lol. Stay away for me b.o.l!

Wow, better hope they don't win by 8.

[layout4payout]

played the cavs this morning, in a 2 team parlay with wolves, before i found out about irving not playing... hoping for a snow cancellation now.

If Kyrie is indeed out, this reminds me when Parker was a late scratch a couple weeks ago Spurs at Bulls. Though it was still only Spurs +3.5. And Spurs promptly smacked down the Bulls. Regardless I see Bulls covering. They will be fired up after being embarassed by OKC. Cavs doesn't have any playmakers after Irvin, making it very predictable for Bull's great D.

Spurs can still play without Parker. Cavs not that good in the first place, imagine how bad their record would be without him. They lost to the Bulls at home by 10 without him earlier this season and the Bulls have beaten the Cavs 11 straight. Kinda like the Pistons. Can't see the Cavs having success tonight. Bulls coming off bad effort are going to be focused on a good one, and they don't mind beating up bad teams. This looks like it could be one of those 20+ point wins.

Oh man haha, just bet on Cavs M line...

and risk losing both ends when it falls on chi by 8? you better spend the cash to buy point there if thats the case...

[saints1856]

the odds of the game landing EXACTLY on Bulls by 8??
