Cleveland at Utah

Premium Pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers have some big expectations with LeBron James back in the fold, but it appears that the "King" has put a little too much pressure to perform on himself, as the gifted one has committed 15 turnovers in three games, and has scored 17 and 11 points in two of the three games. It will probably do him some good to be on the road again to refocus his energy, and we have seen him too many times to think that he is going to continue to struggle. Utah started poorly last season, and are off to another ugly 1-3 start, as the talent level in Utah is not playoff caliber. The Cavs are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 when following a loss, and I expect a breakout game from LeBron in this one. Lay the small number and go with Cleveland.
