Expert picks & predictions for Tuesday’s Cavaliers vs. Bulls game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Cavaliers to gas the Bulls up early:

"Cleveland has come out on fire against Chicago in two meetings. The Cavaliers scored 34 and 49 points and after starting slowly against Portland and escaping in OT with a win, I doubt Cleveland will play with its food early. I like the Cavs First Quarter Team Total Over 31.5 against the Bulls. Chicago continues to be one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA."
