Dallas at Cleveland

The Cleveland Cavs find themselves in the rare role of a favorite and that is hard for me to justify here. The Cavs are 2-6 to start the season and one of the wins is vs. Washington. Since the departure of Lebron James the Cavs are a horrid 42-114 and with their 2-6 start this seson, they certainly have not shown any progress. Dallas is injury riddled right now, but even at that they are still a pedestrian team that is 5-5 with a pedigree for winning. Cleveland is well below pedestrian and can't be trusted against anyone. The Mavs have also been a good bounceback team of late as they are 5-1 ATS in their last six after a double-digit loss. The Cavs have home court advantage left with LeBron and they are now 6-16 ATS in their last 22 at home. Play on Dallas.
