Wizards at Cavaliers picks and predictionsPrediction

Cavaliers 123, Wizards 109

AVOID.

You cannot risk 16 times your potential return on the Cavaliers (-1600), even though they might be playing the best basketball of any stretch this season. The juice is not worth the squeeze.

The WIZARDS +17.5 (-105) is a solid play catching this huge amount of points.

Yes, the Cavaliers have picked up the pace against the spread lately, but they’ve still failed to cover 9 in a row as a double-digit favorite. Ironically, the last cover as a double-digit favorite was Nov. 7 in Washington, a 148-115 win as a 13.5-point favorite.

However, the Wizards have been much better lately, going 7-5 ATs in the past 12 games, including 3-3 ATS in the past 6 as a double-digit ‘dog.

The UNDER 238.5 (-110) is worth a look, as this is a rather high number.

While the Over is 5-1 in the past 6 for Washington, the Under cashed last time out on Sunday. For Cleveland, the Under has hit in 2 of the past 3 games, while going 5-3 in the past 8 outings at Rocket Arena.
