Premium Pick

LeBron is scoring in droves and typically does very well against the Jazz (27 per game). Utah's offense is a lot more prolific on the road than home (91.4 vs. 87.8) and their defense is worse (93.5 vs. 89.9). Their offense has sputtered of late but that's what's keeping this line artifically low. The Cavs offense scores 103.4 at home and over their last five games, their defense has given up 102.4 per game. Cleveland is 35-13 OVER off 2 or more consecutive home wins and 90-61 OVER at home vs. losing teams since 1996. Games with a total is between 180 and 189.5 points with a team that has scored 90 points or less 3 straight games and another team that scored 110+ last game have gone OVER 39-15 (72%) since 1996. Two stars on the OVER.
