Cleveland has beaten the Lakers seven times in a row and needs to bounce back from a loss to the Clippers on this court on Friday, which snapped the Cavaliers' five-game road winning streak. LeBron James had 25 points and 10 rebounds and Jordan Clarkson added 21 in the losing effort. The Lakers have lost two of their last three, including Friday's 125-116 loss at Denver. The Lakers shot 48.9 percent, but allowed the Nuggets a .506 field goal percentage and Paul Millsap hit a key three-pointer in the final minutes for Denver. The road team has covered four of the last five meetings and Cleveland is just a small favorite. Play the Cavaliers for the win and cover.
