Spurs at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 124, Spurs 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Cavaliers should pick up the win here, but they are not worth betting on as a -500 favorite. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

LEAN CAVALIERS -10 (-112).

Cleveland has covered ATS in back-to-back games and sits at 7-3 ATS in its last 10 overall. The Cavaliers have also covered ATS in 3 of their last 5 meetings with San Antonio and are the better ATS team this season, being 17-18 while the Spurs are only 14-20.

This is only a lean because San Antonio has been decent ATS lately and has been solid ATS in recent matchups with Cleveland.

Over/Under

BET OVER 235 (-112).

The Over has hit in 5 of Cleveland's last 7 home games. The Over has also hit in back-to-back San Antonio-Cleveland matchups and is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings over 5 seasons. The Over is also safer for both teams this year, being 18-17 for Cleveland and 21-13 for San Antonio.
