Result: Win
Point Spread: 18.50 | -112.00 Nets (BRK) (Away)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Nets.
The Nets are catching too many points here. Cleveland is at home and rolling and having a huge season but Brooklyn off a win versus Lakers and confidence is up a bit based on recent competitive losses as well. The Nets are 8-9 SU last 17 games and only 2 of Brooklyn's last 19 games were losses by more than 18.5 points! Those 2 defeats were by 19 and 21 points. Cleveland wins here of course but falls short of covering this overly inflated number. The Cavaliers have won 14 in a row but only 5 of last 15 Cavs games have been wins by more than a 13 point margin so don't be shocked when a scrappy Brooklyn side hangs around in this one and possibly even keeps it to single digits.
T.M. Prediction: 118-109 Cavaliers
