Cavaliers Spotlight

The Cleveland Cavaliers just picked up their third-straight victory, this time it was against a hurting Miami Heat squad, picking up their 5th ATS cover in the process. On the road, the Cavalier’s offense ranks 15th in points per game, 6th in field goal percentage, and 9th in 3-point shooting. On the defensive side they’ve been solid as well, ranking 2nd in points allowed, 10th in field goal percentage, 8th in 3-point shooting, and 4th in rebounding. 


Wizards Spotlight

The Washington Wizards just picked up a solid win over the Minnesota Timberwolves as 3.5-point favorites, while covering the spread in two of their last three games. Offensively at home, the Wizards rank 10th in points per game, 12th in field goal percentage, and 14th in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home, the Wizards rank 15th in points allowed, 14th in field goal percentage, 9th in 3-point shooting, and 5th in rebounding.


Final Say

Both squads have been trending hard with unders. The total has gone under in 15 of the Cavalier’s last 20 games, while it has gone 6-2 in their last eight games versus an Eastern Conference opponent. As for the Wizards, the total has gone under in six of their last seven games, and 5-2 in their last seven games at home. Then the under has hit in four of their last five meetings. Heres the thing though, those games saw some high totals reaching into the 230s, this total is much more manageable for two teams that can move the ball around and score. Perception has given us a lower total, so I’ll be hitting the over here.


Pick: Over 207 Total Points
