Los Angeles at Cleveland

The Cleveland Cavaliers have found themselves after a horrific start to the season, tucking 15 of their last 16 in the win column. It would seem that they should be an over-whelming double-digit home chalk to the under-whelming LA Lakers. The problem is that despite winning just about every time on the court, Cleveland is just 6-9 ATS, as the hot streak has them over-valued and they seem to put together just enough effort to win. The Lakers have played better recently, winning two of their last three with the only loss by just four points. I think playing the Cavs will get the young Lakers juiced to take down a giant and put together a concerted effort, while the Cavs sleep walk to a win, but fail to cover. Play the points with LA.
