Washington at Cleveland

Things have not gone as expected yet for the Cleveland Cavaliers, as they are a dismal 6-7 through 13 games. Things have improved significantly on the defensive end, as after allowing six of their first seven opponents to reach the century mark at 106 points per game they have clamped down to allow their last six opponents just 94.6 points per game, that is a huge and significant 12 points per game. They just played in Washington five days ago in a game that saw just 169 points scored. I look for another ugly, or defensive game to break out in this one as things got very testy and physical in that contest. These teams have an elongated history of just that, as the UNDER is 20-7 in the last 27 meetings between these clubs in Cleveland, and overall the UNDER is 10-2 in the last 12 meetings. We saw more of the same just days ago, and nothing has changed. Play on the UNDER in this one.
