Premium Pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers raised a lot of question marks with a 5-7 start to the season, but have rattled off eight straight wins  to quiet a lot of their critics. The hot Cavs take the court at home as just a five-point favorite against a 10-9 Miami team, and many will be quick to question the line here and pounce on the Cavaliers. While Cleveland is winning, they are still just 6-11 ATS in their last 17. The wild card here is Miami coach Erik Spoelstra who knows both Dwayne Wade and LeBron James better than anyone, and that includes their thin area of weaknesses. The Cavs have been poor on no rest where they are 0-3 SU and ATS on the season and just 8-17 ATS in their last 25. Miami has won three straight of their own, and in a good spot tonight vs. the unrested Cavs. Take the points on Miami.
