this is a gift. -10 are you kidding me. yes Zydrunas is out but the Cavs have to keep up with Boston in order to get that respect in the East. plus Minny is a weak team they should beat up on these guys all night.

taking 1H -4.5 and game -10 CAVS

anyone else?

CLE -10
It is a gift, especially with CLE coming off a loss. They're 3-0 ats after a loss this year. CLE is also 8-1 when favored by double digits, and 4-0 ats on the road against teams with a sub .500 record. One of the few teams that hasn't played down to their competition. One negative is  MINN is 2-0 ats when a double digit dog. I have faith in CLE getting done 2nite tho, prolly my pick of the night.

5 of 11 CLE road games have been decided by 10+ points. Close to 50% chance whoever covers will win by 10+. And I'm pretty sure it wont be MINN.

CLE has also had plenty of time to think about that loss. 3 days, where they are 2-0 ats and have covered a 10+ spread one of those. This might get ugly.

Min 4-20 &  Cle 20-4

Cleveland sounds like the choice to me. Also Cleveland is 7-0 ats against teams that allow 99+ points per game. 10-2 ats when playing against teams with a losing record. Cavs are 4-1 in last 5 vs T'wolves and road team is 5-1 in last 6 meetings. They should roll by 18+

This kind of situation does not happen that often; I have to agree, laying 10 here seems like one of the more comfortable plays I have made all season... GL to all who play it

I see the Over/Under picks are 12-3 on the Under...
I was so suprised, I don't understand why. I think the score will stay under 189, because neither team play quick offense, there wont be many fastbreaks, and I expect many turnovers. Score should be around 97-82 Cleveland, but I might be really wrong
