Save Detroit, you are looking at the best home team in the Eastern conference here in the Cavs. They were 31-10 SU and 23-17 ATS at home where they both scored more and played much better defense. Over the past two seasons now, they are 23-12 ATS at home vs. winning teams. Overall, the Cavs are 31-21 as a favorite this season and 21-10 ATS off 2+ days of rest. They beat and covered the spread agains playoff teams here. At home, King James will outshine Arenas, Jamison and Butler. Washington's defense is the big problem here. They allowed a terrible 102.1 points per game away from home this season and in the playoffs, that's not going to cut it. LeBron and the Cavs here.
