Cleveland is riding an 11-game win streak, but the last eight have been against bad or banged up teams. Cleveland still ranks #22 in the NBA in field goal shooting defense and the Cavaliers are 4-11 ATS when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. They face a talented LA Clippers team that is deadly on offense with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, third in the NBA in points scored and assists. LA has been a great bounce-back team all season, winning six straight times after a loss. They haven't lost two in a row since December. LA bounced back from a loss at New Orleans on this road trip with a 105-85 win at San Antonio as a +5 dog. They lost the last game at Brooklyn and are in bounce-back mode tonight. Play the Clippers both ATS and on the moneyline.
