Smart Game Analysis
Cleveland Cavaliers has a 58% chance of winning the game
While the Bulls dominated the midweek matchup, the Cavaliers are favored to salvage a split in this home-and-home series despite significant injury concerns.
Key Analysis
- • Evan Mobley is out with a calf strain, leaving a massive hole in Cleveland's rim protection and rebounding.
- • Donovan Mitchell is listed as questionable, and his availability is the single biggest factor for the Cavaliers' offense.
- • Chicago dominated the previous game 127-111 on Wednesday, shooting 56% from the field.
- • The Cavaliers have lost 7 of their last 10 games and are currently on a downward slide in the standings.
- • Josh Giddey recorded a triple-double in the last meeting and presents a difficult size matchup for Cleveland's backcourt.
- • Cleveland needs to control the pace better after allowing Chicago to dictate transition scoring in the last loss.
