Bulls Favorites In Game 6 Vs. Cavs

The Chicago Bulls will look to avoid elimination tonight as their series with the Cleveland Cavaliers returns to Chicago.

The Bulls are -2-point favorites against the Cavs. The Bulls are 5-1 against the spread over their last six playoff games.

The Cavs took the lead in this series with a Game 4 win as -3-point road favorites, 86-84. They also won Game 5, 106-101, as -5.5 favorites at home. Cleveland has not covered the spread over the last three games of this series.

The Cavs have had plenty of injury scares over this series but have persevered through them. For example, Kyrie Irving was questionable going into the game, but came out and shot for over 50 percent. So did LeBron James and when both Irving and James are firing on all cylinders, the Cavs are one of the toughest teams to beat in the NBA.

The Bulls are dealing with injuries of their own as Pau Gasol is listed as probable but will have Taj Gibson starting in place of him. Injuries aside the Bulls need a better shooting performance than the one they displayed in Game 5 if they want to force a Game 7. Derrick Rose upping his game could do a great deal for the Bulls. He is averaging 23.8 points per game but is only shooting 37.8 percent from the field.

The total is set at 192 points. The OVER is 3-1 in the last four games of this series.

The game starts at 8 p.m. ET, and you can watch it on ESPN.
