The Cavaliers are coming off a 106-100 loss to the Rockets on Tuesday when they rested LeBron James. They also suffered a 104-95 loss to the Nets last week on the road, as the Cavs are just 2-7 against the spread in their last nine. Brooklyn has lost its last two games, but is 3-2 ATS in its last five. The Cavs should definitely win, but asking them to win by 15 is a lot right now, as Cleveland hasn’t been able to blow away many opponents as of late. Brooklyn has covered in 9 straight after allowing 125 points in their previous game, and they are coming off a big loss to Orlando on Tuesday night. Look for the Nets to be motivated tonight against the Cavs and keep the game competitive.
