The Cleveland Cavaliers are back in action tonight against the Chicago Bulls at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, but is Ricky Rubio playing?

Ricky Rubio, however, looks like a great bet to play tonight after resting last night, so expect to see him in uniform and on the court. For the Chicago Bulls, Lonzo Ball and Javonte Green remain out of the lineup. There is a strong chance the Cavs decide to sit other players given the whiplash turnaround. Right now that’s up in the air, and the team has given no indication — they likely will closer to the top-off at 8:00 PM. Even so, the Cavaliers would love to have Ricky Rubio back in the lineup. The Cleveland Cavaliers are riding high on a five-game win streak, and tonight return home to host the Chicago Bulls.

We go over some of the best betting options for Saturday's matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Chicago has been a poor scoring team over its last five games and haven’t gotten much offensive production from anyone outside of LaVine, DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic. Donovan Mitchell led with 30 points while both Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen provided double-doubles in the paint. Zach LaVine led with 38 points in the loss. Alex Caruso is also probable as he deals with foot soreness. Barring its starters being rested on the back end of a back-to-back, Cleveland covering as the favorite is the easy choice here. Chicago has dropped both games of this quick road trip and was last bested by Brooklyn in a 116-105 setback on Thursday.

Entering last night, in his last 17 games, Okoro was shooting 58 of 94 (61.7%) from the field and 24 of 48 (50%) from beyond the arc. That is perhaps the most fitting description of this team. Boston and Milwaukee were the only ones mentioned. The Cavs boast a nearly fully healthy bench with Ricky Rubio, Dean Wade, Caris LeVert, and the gritty play of Raul Neto and Lamar Stevens.

The top of this Bulls roster is still quite talented and can put up a reasonable fight against opponents on most nights, but the team’s lack of three-point shooting, perimeter defense or rim protection is just not going to put them to succeed consistently.

The Cavs took on the Bulls in the second night of a back-to-back and struggled earlier before finding a second wind in the fourth quarter.

The energy carried over for Cleveland early in the fourth as the Cavs started the quarter on a 7-0 run. And then there was the Garland 3-pointer from the left wing that put Cleveland up 11, 89-78 with 4:40 to go, for their largest lead of the night at that point. “I know people like to make light of what these guys go through and how difficult it is to be good in the NBA and to win in the NBA.

There was the play where Mitchell found Mobley cutting down the lane for a two-handed slam, putting the Cavs up eight with 6:02 left to play. Just over a minute later, with 2:42 left to go in the third, Mitchell got a big put-back layup. An and-1 layup and free throw by Mitchell got the Cavs to within 8. They expanded that lead to 13 in the third, but the Cavs showed some fight in the waning minutes of the period. The Cavs got only one bucket from their bench -- a fourth quarter Cedi Osman basket -- and still managed to pull away.
