Cleveland at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers were projected to come out of the Eastern Conference and play for an NBA Championship, but things have not meshed quite as quickly for this team. They do get LeBron James back, who scored 33 points after missing a couple of weeks with multiple injuries, and he should help stop the bleeding tonight. Sure, the Cavs have dropped six straight, but tonight they have a very winnable game in Los Angeles vs. a really bad Lakers team that has started 12-27 and own just six wins at home. The Lakers are just 4-11 in their last 15 games, and own just a 1-5-1 ATS record vs. teams from the Eastern Conference in their last seven against them. Give the points on Cleveland.
