Why the hell is Cleveland +2,5 in Chicago?

[sexmann]

Can´t figure it out ... I´m Big on it and on the ML aswell.

cleveland has nothing to play for and might want to avoid injury so they might limit minutes for their regulars. that's only a guess though.

[watchdog]

because vegas know something we don't

[2daBank]

my guess is most the starters play very little or sit out all together

[Rookie-Capper]

lines questionable Im leary of putting much money on it but denver over the lakers at home looks good they always play them tough.

[Domestic]

Bulls are no sure-thing to win even if the Cavs didn't play Lebron or many of their starters.
I might make a small play on Cleveland ML.

[tealish]

I wouldn't play Cleveland, guys. Bulls aren't favored for nothing. Cleveland is throwing this game away, not cause it's a fix, but because they have no reason to give a sh*t.

Good luck

Cleveland will play bulls in the 1st round of playoffs if the bulls win this game. If bulls lose to cle, then cle will be playing craptors.

I see Cle losing this game to set themselves for an easier playoff vs the bulls. Craptors would be a tougher opponent.


Bulls are the play and the overs

right on kingsr

i know you're aussie like me, but do you think theres some U.S v Canada Rivalry in play with raptors trying to make the playoffs? Like Australia v New Zealand rivalry in NBL, netball, rugby... would U.S teams prefer bulls to make the playoffs over raptors for patriotic reasons?

[Obone44]

Cleveland has a bunch of starters listed as "Questionable" with stupid injuries. They are resting everyone.

[Tchocky]

This game sounds like a trap. Cavs were +2 in Boston on Sunday and we all know how that game turned out. Is it even a good idea to be betting on the NBA the last week of the season when most of the playoff spots have been determined?

have you looked at the western conference ladder? plenty to play for there and still some motivation left in the east

Bulls easier than Raptors with Bosh out and all Chiago starters on the way back?

Wow I never thought of this. I think you're reading to much into it though and for argument sake I'd look at it the opposite way. For example NRL, trying to promote league in other states like QLD, Victoria, NZ. Its good for the comp if these NON NSW teams make the finals.

Good luck man

Did you check to see when Bosh is back before posting this?

[reppin_the_847]

I heard a rumor that Antawn Jamison & Delonte West may sit this one out due to minor injuries. And for all the reasons everyone else pointed out here, Vegas set CLE as the underdog in this contest as shocking as it is.

Not a good game to bet on. Lack of motivation from the vastly superior team, but maybe they want to stomp them just to send a message to the team that they could face in the first round if the Bulls squeeze past the Raptors for the #8 spot. Not worth your money.

[Tchocky]

Accuscore has the Cavs winning 95.6 to 89.4

Brian Windhorst (Cavs Beat Writer) Twitter

To be fair, Mike Brown likely to play all starters vs. Bulls like Raptors. But look for a wave of inactives including LeBron Fri. vs. Indy about 18 hours ago

Delonte West (back) & Daniel Gibson (foot) likely will not play tomorrow at Chicago. Could be debut for Sebastian Telfair in Cavs uniform. about 18 hours ago

[Renojaguar]

Bulls are the play here. Mike Brown has already said he wasn't going to compromise his players being put on the injury list just for a win. Thats enough for me to say the Bulls win this game. I assume the bench will play more than he starts so they can get the practice for the paly offs getting more shots off and looks at the goal. Cavs have wrapped about everthing up they need. No need to endanger any of their player before the play offs. People you see this all the time in any professional sport that has play-offs wrapped up. Don't be a fool and bet your money on something that is too good to be true.

[tblues2005]

The linemaker sure knows something on this one. I say take the Bulls!!

[carbonero77]

denver tonight!!!!!

denver in home, and in a thursday beat easly to lakers...remember the 3 point shoot of billups??

[eviltsi]

bulls need this win...to take over 8th spot i believe
really not a bad pick

[watchdog]

i think bull will win this game by 8 point

[SHADYLANKY]

Line went to Chi -5 a couple minutes ago. I assume Cle said starters weren't playing much. Under in Clip/Sac game looks really solid to me.

[zigomanisinsider]

bulls - 7

[yisman]

yeah it's jumped to 6.5 or 7
