Brooklyn at Cleveland

Brooklyn comes off a 104-87 rout of Chicago last night, matching last season's victory total. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson returned from an 11-game absence, sparking the team with his trademark energy and hustle in 22 minutes. The Nets are 7-1 ATS after a victory and face a high profile Cleveland team that is overvalued once again. Cleveland lost to San Antonio 110-94 on Sunday and coach Tyronn Lue used Monday's practice session to draw up new wrinkles. It will take time for the team to adjust. All-Star power forward Kevin Love (broken hand) is still out for another month, and newcomers Larry Nance Jr., guards Jordan Clarkson and George Hill are still trying to find their roles. The Cavaliers were a 6-point favorite at home three games ago and lost to Washington, 110-103. The Cavs are on an 18-38-1 spread run, including 8-20-1 ATS following a straight up loss. And the Nets are 21-9 ATS in the last 30 meetings in Cleveland. Back Brooklyn.
