Cleveland at Washington

The Cleveland Cavaliers were supposed to be a better team with Shaq patrolling the paint for 25-30 minutes a night, but the team chemistry appears to have taken a hit with the changes to the roster. Last year at this time, the Cavs had already recorded six double-digit wins through their first 11 games, and lost just once on their home floor all season, not counting the last game of the year when all the starters sat. Well, the Cavs haven't beaten anyone by double-digits in their last six games and already have two home losses. The Wizards have dropped five straight and although it may not look like it now, they are a better team with a healthy Gilbert Arenas. They did a better job last season against the Cavs than any other team. They beat the Cavs twice in two matchups here in Washington, and almost knocked them off in Cleveland losing by just four. I like Washington to win this one straight-up on the moneyline.
