Turc's Pick of the Day for Tuesday- %79 winners!

The Cavs have won five in a row, in addition to 18 of their last 22.

im on the bandwagon turk........i think this will be a hard-nose defensive struggle for both teams......this was the same line as charlotte/craptors yesterday and they scored 197.....i see the difference here on both benches when they come in......the only thing that scares me is lebron shot 10-27 when they played and ben wallace was playing......he is a defensive force and he cant score which would help the under much more......for us to cover they need to score no more than 48 a quarter...lets see how the board pans out later on during the day but i like this one.....lets see what numbers ax-man comes up with.....but this one is worth looking at........good call
