Chicago Bulls at Cleveland Cavaliers Lebron James and his Cavaliers have lost 2 straight games to NBA outsiders Charlotte and Atlanta which are rolling these days while heavy favorites like Dallas, Miami, Detroit and few others including Cleveland are struggling. But stop.. do the Cavs really struggling? They won in SA in perfect style, they beat Wizards at home is season opener, but last 2 games were lost... and the reason is simple: Lebron James is shooting only 57.9% of his free throws.. while his normal percentage is about 75%. That's where king James see a problem according to his words at Covers.com and that's where I see problem in Cavs. But after 2 bad matches I expect Lebron to wake up and concentrate more before every free throw. That's should be enough to normalize things in offense. Chicago Bulls is a good team this year after Ben Wallace addition but they have only 2-2 ATS record and seems that bookies still overstimate their real strength. And today's line is bit affected by this factor. Cavs like to win by 10-12 points at home and they never stop trashing their opponents at home when they have chance to win with high margin. And against Chicago Bulls Cleveland Cavaliers usually have these chances... they just know how to play against Bulls and Bulls don't know how to play against Lebron James. In general you can look back to last season results and notice that if Cleveland wins they usually do this by 10 points (+- 2-3 points) and that's why I like to back when their home HC is less than 5 points. I expect Cavs to be fully concetrated for today's division game with direct competitors who have been called as possible division winner... Expect Cavs to show today who is a winner.. I see comfortable Cavs win by 12-17 points and here are some trends to watch before betting on this game: Chicago has lost 15 of 18 in Cleveland, including the last five by an average of 17.0 points.
