Wizards at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 124, Wizards 117

Moneyline

PASS.

The Cavaliers destroyed the Wizards at home Wednesday. Expect them to at least win here so avoid backing them at -450.

Against the spread

BET WIZARDS +10 (-110).

The Wizards are 2-0-1 ATS in their last 3 games as a double-digit underdog. They have covered 2 of their last 3 and are 7-3-1 ATS over their last 11.

While Cleveland is a strong side, it shouldn't be expected to shoot 48% from deep and 53% from the field again like they did Wednesday. The Cavs have covered just 1 of their last 3 and just 3 of their last 6.

Expect Washington to keep things closer than it did in the 1st matchup. Take WIZARDS +10 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 240 (-110).

The Wizards rank No. 1 in pace, so they play at an ultra-fast tempo. The Cavaliers without Garland play quicker as well as the point guard has been injured the last numerous games.

Cleveland is 6-3 O/U in its last 9 and 2-0 O/U in its last 2, dropping 140 on the Wizards Wednesday. The Wizards are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 and 19-14 O/U on the season.

Take OVER 240 (-110).
