Brooklyn got Kyrie Irving back, and he scored 37 points, but the Nets lost to Cleveland in double overtime on Wednesday, breaking a four-game win streak. The Nets get to avenge that tough loss tonight, and Irving will be more acclimated playing with Kevin Durant and James Harden. Also, don't expect the Cavaliers to shoot anywhere near 54.1 percent again as they average only 44.9 percent on the season. Brooklyn is 7-2 ATS after giving up at least 125 points and 7-2 ATS after losing by at least 10 points dating to last season. The Nets are 25-10 ATS their last 35 meetings at Cleveland, and many of those games were when the Cavaliers had LeBron James. Cleveland has not covered its last four games playing with one day of rest. Lay the points with the Nets for my NBA Game of the Month.
