Cleveland at Dallas

The Cleveland Cavaliers got over their mid-season funk by  winning two in a row and are still in first place in the East. They pounded Oklahoma City yesterday, 107-91. LeBron James said the Cavs must give the same amount of energy and effort in Dallas after they held Oklahoma City to 37 percent shooting from the field. The Cavaliers have received a big boost from center Tristan Thompson, who notched his second straight double-double Sunday (19 points, 12 boards) and third in the last five contests. Cleveland is 11-5-1 ATS when following a win of more than 10 points. Dallas has a losing home record and also played yesterday, pulling off an upset at rival San Antonio, 105-101. The Cavaliers beat the Mavericks 128-90 earlier in the season for their fourth straight win in the series and the Mavericks are 3-11 ATS at home against a team with a winning road record. Play Cleveland.
