Prediction

Cavaliers 126, Nets 120

Moneyline

PASS.

Cleveland (-1000) will pick up this win and stay undefeated, but the Cavaliers are not worth the risk of betting on at this price. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN NETS +12.5 (-110).

Brooklyn is 7-2 ATS this season and has covered the spread in back-to-back games. The Nets are also 2-1 ATS in their last 3 games vs. the Cavaliers in Cleveland.

This is also the perfect type of game for the Cavaliers to underestimate their opponent with both teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back.

This is a lean because Cleveland is 9-1 ATS this season.

Over/Under

BET OVER 221.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 3 straight for Cleveland and is 7-3 for the Cavaliers this season.

Cleveland also has the top offense in the league, averaging 124.5 points per game, so the Over is a safe bet here.

Brooklyn Nets at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Brooklyn Nets at Cleveland Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Brooklyn Nets (25-39) and Cleveland Cavaliers (41-22) meet Sunday. Tip-off from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nets vs. Cavaliers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Cavaliers lead 3-0

The Nets, who were 6-point favorites, failed to cover for a 3rd straight road game with a 110-99 loss against the Charlotte Hornets Saturday as the Over (207.5) hit. Brooklyn is a league-worst 10-19 against the spread (ATS) in away games, according to Teamrankings.com.

The Cavaliers are coming off a cover as 1-point favorites in a 113-104 OT win vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday with the Over (206.5) cashing in Cleveland. They’ve alternated ATS wins and losses over the last 6 games.

Cleveland is 2-1 ATS vs. the Nets this season, and the Under has gone 2-1. The Cavaliers covered as 7.5-point favorites with a 118-95 victory at Brooklyn in the most recent meeting Feb. 8 as the Under (224) hit.

Nets at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 106, Nets 105

Moneyline

The Cavaliers (-300) are slightly overpriced for a team that has struggled to string together good performances lately. However, I have no interest in taking the Nets to pull off the upset on the road.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

Cleveland has not covered in back-to-back outings since Feb. 8-10 and is 3-9 ATS since that short 2-game ATS win streak. The shorthanded Cavaliers struggle to string together good performances without their leading scorer in Mitchell (28 points per game) and may come out flat after an impressive OT win.

While the Nets have been the worst road bet ATS this season, this is actually the time to start taking them. The market is overreacting to recent losses at Charlotte and the Detroit Pistons and has created the opportunity for us to get some value on Brooklyn.

BET NETS +7.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Over has hit in the last 4 Nets games, and this number is a bit too low at the moment. I understand that both of these teams are bottom 10 in offensive efficiency over the last 3 games, but Brooklyn’s offense should bounce back after scoring just 99 points against the 28th-ranked team in defensive efficiency in the Hornets.

BET OVER 207.5 (-110).

Nets at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 115, Nets 111

Moneyline

It should be a closely contested game on Monday, but with Cleveland playing at home, CAVALIERS (-130) is an enticing wager. The Cavaliers are 16-3 at home this season while the Nets own a 9-7 record on the road.

Against the spread

Even though the Nets should keep it close in this contest, CAVALIERS -2.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning. The Cavaliers match up pretty well with the Nets as they have F Evan Mobley to guard F Kevin Durant on the defensive end.

The Nets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road meetings with the Cavaliers. Cleveland is also 4-0-2 ATS in its last 6 games following a loss.

Over/Under

OVER 221.5 (-105) is a solid bet in this game and feels too low for how well both of these teams can score. The Nets and the Cavaliers are both in the top 12 in offensive rating and top 11 in true-shooting percentage this season.

The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Nets and the Cavaliers.

Brooklyn Nets at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Brooklyn Nets at Cleveland Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Brooklyn Nets (12-5) travel to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Monday to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers (9-8). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Nets vs. Cavaliers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Brooklyn is coming into this game having won two straight following its absolute flat performance in a 117-99 home loss to the West Conference-leading Golden State Warriors Tuesday.

Led by former MVPs Kevin Durant and James Harden, the Nets were preseason title favorites. They’re 8-9 against the spread (ATS) and 7-10 on the Over/Under (O/U). Brooklyn is 6-2 on the road.

Cleveland is still without rookie phenom F Evan Mobley and top-scorer G Collin Sexton. Much will be expected of G Darius Garland and big Jarrett Allen Monday.

The Cavaliers lost 109-99 to the Nets in Brooklyn Wednesday and are on a 3-game losing skid. They’re 10-7 ATS and 5-12 O/U.

Nets at Cavaliers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 109, Cavaliers 103

Money line

PASS on the money line. The Cavaliers should be more competitive with Allen back in the lineup.

The Nets should still come out on top, so I wouldn’t back the Cavs quite yet, but the +260 is the only side worth considering as the Nets have been far too inconsistent to garner a look at -340.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the CAVALIERS +7.5 (-120).

The Nets bagged 95 points from just 4 players when these teams faced off last Wednesday. That’s not typically ideal for the sake of consistency, especially with the Cavs having brought back potential All-Star center Allen.

The Cavs have a defensive rating of 103 with Allen on the court which would be good for third-best in the NBA, although the defensive prowess of F Isaac Okoro still held Durant to just 23 points in their last meeting.

Forward Kevin Love is back as well which will add some scoring for Cleveland as they should be able to top 100 points for the first time in more than two weeks.

The glass is another reason why I’m backing Cleveland. The Cavs have the 12th-best offensive rebounding rate while the Nets have the 25th-best total rebounding rate. Cleveland should be able to attack the offensive glass successfully.

The Cavaliers 3-game skid is the largest in the Eastern Conference and they should come out on a mission in this one.

Over/Under

BET on the OVER 207.5 (-110) as Love’s presence should bode well for this total.

Having a combined five scoring titles between Durant and Harden is a major reason to back the Over. The Nets rank third in true shooting percentage and ninth in pace.

If they can get out early, they’ll control the speed of the game, much like last time when the Cavaliers needed a 13-point third quarter difference just to hang around.

This total would’ve hit last time around, and the return of a few key Cavaliers should only bode well for them offensively. The Cavs also shot under 40% from the field in the last meeting and they should be able to put some points on the board if they can get back to their mean.
