Cleveland Cavaliers @ Chicago Bulls

Today we will have game 3 in this series, with the Cavaliers leading 2-0. In the first game, thanks to a great start-up, the Cavaliers were able to hold the Bulls all game behind them in the scoreboard. Thanks to it and also to the big edge they had in the rebounds, the Cavaliers were able to achieve a relatively easy win. However, in the second game, the Bulls already showed some feedback, with the scoreboard equalize until the last quarter, where the Cavaliers had again an edge. The Bulls were better on rebounds, committed less 8 TO than the Cavaliers, but weren't able to hold their accuracy, around 55%, and LeBron James, with 40 points.

The Cavaliers, thanks to the low control they had in the last game, are not big favorites. There will be no big surprise if they lose today. The team is seeking the best chemistry between them, chemistry they lost in the last games in regular season, because they didn't played together for several games, making them losing their mechanisms. They were able to won both games in Cleveland mostly due to the personal performances, as they are hitting better than 50% and with LeBron making as always lot's of points. But their coach knows that they can't have that accuracy for ever, and today will have to be more careful and try to focus a little bit more in the defense. With lot's of players to control in the paint, there are no excuses to lose the dominance of that part of the field. The quickness of the Bulls is their biggest problem, specially the lay ups from Rose.

The Bulls have increased their commitment to the game. They were able to show some supremacy in the last game, due to a great defense and a well thinking offense. They only had 4 TO and shot 20 more times than the Cavaliers. Their biggest chance and edge is the quickness they have. But it's nothing if they can't hold the Cavaliers. They are not afraid, they were able to get more rebound than the Cavaliers in the last game in Cleveland. Their moral isn't low, and they know that they need today game to keep their hopes. So, a very tactical game and pondered game is the most likely.

Picks: Cleveland Cavaliers -4 -105 (1.95) BetPhoenix, -115 (1.87) The Greek & Under 193 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker
