Cleveland at Dallas

Cleveland gets center Tristan Thompson (rest) back in the lineup tonight after sitting out the last one. The Cavaliers have only been a double-digit dog one other time this month and lost just 98-97 at Philadelphia. Dallas is off a blowout win over depleted Golden State and is getting too much respect with this number. The Mavericks haven't been good as a big favorite, failing to cover against Washington as nine-point chalk while losing straight-up to the Knicks twice, including as an 11-point home favorite. Dallas is 3-9-1 ATS at home against teams with a losing road record, plus 3-9-1 ATS at home versus a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Play Cleveland.
