Cleveland with 50 wins couldn’t get a guaranteed playoff spot which just shows that the East is a bloodbath. Chicago find themselves in the play-in after a horrible offseason in which they lost their superstar in Kawhi Leonard and find themselves awaiting the PO decision of Dame Time this offseason. I really like the composition of the Cavs’ starting lineup with a 3 level scorer in Lavine, a dominant interior scorer in Zion, a playmaking and defensive PG in Conley, a 3&D wing in Danny Green and Horford as their defensive anchor. A midseason trade fetching Lowry has helped the Bulls make the play-in. The Bulls have a lot of shooting in their lineup led by Dame Time. With Cleveland sweeping the season series, I expect them to get this win and play Brooklyn in a much-awaited first round matchup.
Prediction-Cleveland wins to clinch the 7th seed
