Cleveland at Minnesota

Cleveland is making strides, one game below .500, 35-17-1 ATS as chalk, and seventh in the NBA defensively in points allowed. The Cavs are 15-6 ATS on the road against teams with home winning percentages of less than .400, plus 24-11 ATS away versus teams that allow 110+ points per game. Minnesota is in a free fall, the fourth-worst defensively, surrendering 117.1 points per game, the fifth-worst in field goal defense (47.7%). The Timberwolves have dropped 14 of their last 16 games, and the Cavaliers have covered five of the last six in Minnesota, so back the visitors in this one. Play Cleveland.
