The Chicago Bulls laid a beating on the Knicks in New York on Wednesday night, and then the Knicks went on to upset the Cavs in their home opener in Cleveland just 24 hrs later. Now the Cavs will have to try to bounce back on the road in Chicago in their second game in as many nights. A tough spot to say the least, and I don't fancy their chances.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. LeBron - It was a very disappointing debut for LeBron, scoring 17 points of 5-of-15 shooting. I think everyone believes he will turn it around, but perhaps it's going to take a few games at full speed before he really gets his groove on.

2. Derrick Rose - The former MVB tore it up in the World Championships, and he played at a very high level in the pre-season as well. He dropped 30 points against the Cavs on October 20th.

3. X-Factor - It really shouldn't be surprise to see this team struggle after bringing in so many starts. If you remember LeBron's first year with the Heat, Miami got off to a very slow start, losing 8 of their first 17 games in 2010.

Selection: This is a play on the Chicago Bulls (10*)
