What to Know

Having just played yesterday, the Cleveland Cavaliers will head out on the road to face off against the Chicago Bulls at 8:00 p.m. ET on February 28th at United Center. The Bulls do have the home-court advantage, but the Cavaliers are expected to win by five points.

Winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 12 more assists than your opponent, a fact the Cavaliers proved on Tuesday. Not to be outdone by Dallas, Cleveland got past the Mavericks on a last-second jump shot courtesy of Max Strus with less than a second left in the fourth quarter. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Cavaliers.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored the Bulls on Tuesday, but the final result did not. They took a 105-95 hit to the loss column at the hands of Detroit. The Bulls were up 42-29 in the second but couldn't hold on to the lead.

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from DeMar DeRozan, who scored 25 points. Less helpful for the Bulls was Coby White's abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.

Cleveland has been performing well recently as they've won 20 of their last 24 contests, which provided a nice bump to their 38-19 record this season. As for Chicago, their defeat dropped their record down to 27-31.

Wednesday's contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Cavaliers haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 12.8 turnovers per game. However, it's not like the Bulls (currently ranked second in turnovers per game) struggle in that department as they've been averaging only 11.6 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

The Cavaliers skirted past the Bulls 108-105 when the teams last played two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cavaliers since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
