New Orleans is working on two days of rest, while Cleveland had to play last night. New Orleans got great news the last game as superstar forward Anthony Davis returned from a one-game layoff due to an illness to score 34 points with 26 rebounds at Brooklyn. The Pelicans are 13-3 ATS on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. They catch a break against a terrible and tired Cleveland squad ranked #28 in scoring, #27 in field goal shooting, while the defense is #20 in points allowed (111.6), last in field goal shooting allowing .488. The Cavaliers have lost eight in a row with six of those by double-digits, including the 117-91 home loss to Utah last night. Cleveland is 14-38 ATS at home against teams with losing road records, plus 9-25-1 ATS following a double-digit loss at home. Play New Orleans.
