The Coach's TNT Thursday Night Thunder SPECIAL!
(NBA) Cleveland vs. Chicago,
Total: 201.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Win
The Cleveland Cavaliers will be in Chicago taking on the Bulls in the NBA's final game before the All Star break. The Cavs are coming off a 113-93 win over the Heat on Wednesday. They have won 14 of their last 15 games overall, and have reached 100 points in 12 of those 14 wins. Both these teams have been playing well offensively in recent weeks, and I expect to see a high scoring game in Chicago tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Bulls have been far better this season on the road, with a record of 19-9, compared to just 14-11 at the United Center. Poor defense might be to blame, as the total has gone over in 21 of their last 31 home games.

2. LeBron James - He scored 36 points in a 114-108 overtime win over the Bulls in Chicago earlier this season, and he's averaged 31.7 points in his last 17 visits to the United Center. With Jimmy Butler sidelined with an injury, the Bulls could struggle to defend LeBron.

3. X-Factor - The Bulls offense has been given a boost from 23 year old Tony Snell, who scored 24 points in the win over the Kings on Tuesday. He's been red hot from three-point range, hitting 11-of-19 over his last three games.

Selection: This is a play on the Cavs@Bulls to go OVER the total (8*)
