Cleveland has bounced back from a three-game losing streak to win three in a row, including a road win against Boston, 89-77, on Tuesday. LeBron James finished with 24 points and Kevin Love scored 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds. The Cavaliers held the Celtics to just a .322 field goal percentage in arguably their finest defensive effort of the season. This followed a 111-76 blowout win at Orlando on Friday when the Cavs shot 56.9 percent from the field. Cleveland is 10-1 straight-up at home this season and 30-2 dating to last year. Oklahoma City is playing a back-to-back after a 106-90 win over Portland last night as Kevin Durant scored 24 points and the Thunder held the Trail Blazers to 34.8 percent from the field. Oklahoma City is on a six-game winning streak, but Cleveland's home record cannot be ignored. Play the Cavaliers on the moneyline.
