Nets 119, Cavaliers 102
Money line (ML)
The Nets (-800) will cost you eight times your potential return, and that’s not worth the risk even though Brooklyn should be able to drum Cleveland.

Against the spread (ATS)
The NETS -12.5 (-110) are looking for some revenge after falling in a pair of games in Cleveland in mid-January. It’s a different world now as the Nets are headed to the playoffs and the Cavs are headed for the golf course. Brooklyn should be able to rout Cleveland in this one.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 225.5 (-110) is the play as the Cavs have had difficulty putting points on the board lately. Cleveland has posted 105 or fewer points in six straight, and 107 or fewer in 10 of the past 11 outings. While the Nets will be able post plenty of points, the lean is to the Under here.
