NBA Betting Trends

Washington

The Wizards are 5-1 against the spread in their last six conference games, but just 18-37 ATS in their last 55 road games.

Cleveland

The Cavaliers have covered the spread in four straight Tuesday games, but are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games.

Prediction:

The Wizards aren’t great on the road, but they have covered the spread in five of their last seven at Cleveland. The Cavs have a terrible defense that should allow Washington to put up a big number on offense. The Wizards can shoot the ball pretty well and Cleveland is lacking much in depth. The Cavs don’t have the offensive weapons to score with the Wizards if Washington is playing up to its usual standards.

NBA Prediction: Washington Wizards -7
