Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on March 5. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Chicago Bulls

The Bulls recently broke a streak of six consecutive defeats, defeating on the road a direct competitor in the race for the Eastern Conference play-in Philadelphia - 142:110. After that game, the team played three more games, losing to the Los Angeles Clippers (117:122, home), beating Toronto (125:115 (110:110), home), and failing to handle Indiana (112:127, away) in the most recent meeting so far.

Despite eight defeats in ten previous matches, and due to regular misfires of competitors, Chicago still holds a position in the play-in zone. The Bulls are in tenth place in the Eastern Conference with a balance of 24-37 and a handicap of 2.0 wins from the 11th line.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers are in no danger of a tournament fight at the end of the regular season. Not even for the first line. The team leads the Eastern Conference standings with a 50-10 record and is 7.5 wins ahead of second-place Boston.

Cleveland experienced some problems in the last match. The Cavs hosted Portland on their home court and won only in overtime - 133:129 (119:119). This success, however, became the tenth consecutive victory for the team from Ohio.

Expert Betting Tips

The class of the teams on the upcoming match differs quite a lot, and the two victories this season Cleveland over Chicago are far from coincidental. We believe that the Bulls will not be able to stop the Cavaliers at the third attempt, and they will win their 11th consecutive victory. We also believe the game will be a high-scoring affair. Cleveland is the second team of the season in terms of offensive efficiency, and Chicago is second from the bottom in the ranking of defense.
