Cleveland at Indiana

The Cleveland Cavaliers have some young talent, but are still a long way from where they were with LeBron in the fold. The one thing that they have done is play hard, especially vs. the best teams in the NBA. Since way back in early November, the Cavs have been posted as a double-digit dog nine times, and they have responded by going 9-0 ATS. Indiana has not had a double-digit win in their last four, and in fact have lost their last two by 15 points or more. They are not playing really well right now, and the Cavaliers aren't going to coerce the "A" game out of them tonight. Cleveland is a highly respectable 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 vs. the East, and certainly have shown the chops to hang tough. Take the points on Cleveland.
