Clippers at Cavaliers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Clippers 119, Cavaliers 105
Money line (ML)
The Clippers (-450) are looking to bounce back after suffering a 124-120 loss at Brooklyn Monday in an entertaining affair. They’re hoping it’s not Groundhog Day all over again in Cleveland. It won’t be, but laying four-and-a-half times your potential return is not something you want to make a habit of doing. AVOID, and look to the spread.
Against the spread (ATS)
The CLIPPERS -9.5 (-110) are no stranger to heavy numbers, and they are usually pretty good when facing opponents they are supposed to pound. In the past seven games with a spread of seven or more, L.A. has posted a 6-1 ATS mark. That’s rather impressive. They’re also a solid 7-3 ATS across the past 10 overall.
The Cavaliers +9.5 (-110) have been running hot and cold this season, and lately they’re as cold as the wind off of Lake Erie down Ontario St. They did scratch out an ugly 100-98 win over the Timberwolves last time out, but they have failed to cover in each of their past three outings.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 217.5 (-110) is worth a small-unit bet. L.A. hit the Over in Brooklyn Monday and three of the past four overall. The Cavs are on a three-game Under skid, but the Over is 6-3 in their past nine. The Clips will post plenty of points in this second end of a back-to-back, and the Cavaliers should be able to at least break the century mark to help out.
