Cavaliers at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Cavaliers 105, Clippers 104
Moneyline
PASS.
Cavaliers (-190) ML is a little expensive considering Cleveland is looking for its 5th consecutive road win this season vs. a team that has the 4th-best odds to win the NBA Finals. While Cleveland has been impressive on the road (4-1), they may be due for a let-down game.
Against the spread
BET CLIPPERS +4.5 (-112).
The Cavaliers are slightly overvalued in this spot as the Clippers should bounce back after blowing a 4th-quarter lead vs. the Jazz Sunday. Take the points with the Clippers who will be extra motivated to not lose back-to-back home games.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 213.5 (-110).
Cleveland is 2nd in defensive efficiency and Los Angeles is 4th. The Under has hit in back-to-back games for Cleveland and is 9-1 in Clippers games this season. Expect a low-scoring game that should be close late.
