Cavaliers at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 116, Wizards 102

Moneyline

The Wizards are 3-23 at home and have lost 15 straight. At the current odds there isn't much value in either team. Best to PASS and look toward the spread.

Against the spread

Washington is 8-18 against the spread at home while Cleveland is 14-11 on the road.

Despite being a double-digit underdog and covering against the Cavaliers earlier this month, the Wizards have failed to cover their last 2 games as a double-digit dog.

LEAN CAVALIERS -11.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Wizards have gone Over in the past 3 games, but they haven't gone Over 4 in a row since early November so I expect a regression.

Also in the last 5 road games, Cleveland has held its opponent below 107 points, and that isn't a recent trend. This season as a road favorite they are 10-4 toward the Under.

BET UNDER 233.5 (-105).
