Utah at Cleveland

It is hard to forget the Cleveland Cav's struggles last season that left them with a woeful 3-0 mark at one stretch of the season. It plays into their hands as the oddsmakers and the betting public have a tough time swallowing a play on Cleveland. The fact is, over their last 24 home games they are 11-13 and have made advances towards respectability far greater than they look. Utah has always been tough at home and, even with disappearing talent, they still manage to win 70% of the time on home hardwood. The road has been a complete nightmare as the Jazz only own thee wins in 16 tries and, more recently, they are a dismal 1-10 in their last 11. They have also failed to get it done on the road vs. teams with a losing home record standing in at 1-6 ATS in their last seven. Play on Cleveland.
