Cleveland Cavaliers vs Chicago Bulls Odds, Line, Picks, and Prediction - October 22 | 2022/23 NBA Regular Season

The Cavaliers have one of the most exciting young cores in the NBA. The likes of Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, and Darius Garland have already established themselves as some of the best young players in the East.
The addition of Donovan Mitchell to this trio has already proved to be electrifying. Mitchell topped the scoring for the Cavs last time out, scoring 31. The Cavaliers have high hopes for this season, making it far in the playoffs. They are one of the favorites to make it out of the East, but they need to keep their starting five fit to make those expectations a reality.
Darius Garland had an off night against the Raptors, only scoring four points, but last season he was the biggest revelation for the Cleveland side. He averaged 22-3-8 last season, earning him a place in the All-Star game.
This year it is pretty logical to assume he won’t get as many points with the arrival of star-scorer Donovan Mitchell, but his assist and steal numbers should go up drastically.
The Bulls suffered a surprise defeat against the Wizards last time out. Demar DeRozan has begun the season in red-hot form, averaging a whopping 34.5 points and nearly 8 assists a night over the first two games.
The Bulls were able to get the better of the Miami Heat on opening night but failed to do so against the Washington side. Patrick Williams and Coby White were disappointments for the Bulls, as they contributed next to nothing in nearly thirty minutes of game time each.
With Zach LaVine absent indefinitely, the Bulls need to find their secondary scorer quickly if they want to finish near the top of the conference, as most expect them to.

Cavaliers vs Bulls Final Prediction
This is a very even matchup as both teams have the quality to produce something special. The Cavaliers are looking for their first win of the season and were unfortunate to not get one on opening night.
They look much better on paper as compared to their opponents, who are suffering from some injury concerns to very important players. If the Cavs can get the formula sorted to get the best out of both Garland and Mitchell, we could be in for a treat of an evening.
Cleveland Cavaliers: -1.5 (-110)
