Cleveland at Washington

Caron Butler is expected back here but don't expect him to have too much of an impact in his first action. He'll likely test that bad hip against a guy who is lighting it up. LeBron James is averaging 37 ppg, 8 rpg and 7.4 apg over his last seven games. In his career vs. the Wizards he has averaged over 30 ppg, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Cleveland has won 12 of the last 15 vs Washington and here we get some points to boot. The Cavs have been virtually a breakeven team to the posted total all season, having gone 32 OVER and 31 UNDER. There is one exception. When they play on the road vs a team with a sub-.500 record, their games have gone OVER the total to the tune of 13-1-1! Washington is now averaging over 100 points a game in their last six at home, and five of the six have gone OVER. They have given up over 106 ppg in their last four. Lots of value on the OVER indicated by recent, and season long trends. Cavs and the OVER here.
