This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I think this one sets up well for Cleveland here at home. The Cavaliers are 15-2 at home this season.

They're coming off a 122-99 win over Utah. They've been really good defensively, as the Jazz average nearly 117 points per game (in the Top 5 in the league in scoring.)

The Cavaliers also play with revenge in this spot as they fell 117-102 as four-point underdogs at Milwaukee in late November.

And for the Bucks, obviously they've been great. They're 22-8 overall and they're coming off back-to-back wins and covers. Most recently a 128-119 road win at the Pelicans.

But with tough upcoming road games at Brooklyn on the 23rd, Boston on the 25th and Chicago on the 28th, this also sets up as a "LOOK AHEAD" spot for the visiting side.

The overall situation and the scheduling favor the Cavaliers here, but they're also 7-2 against the spread in their last nine in trying to avenge a 15-points or greater loss against an opponent.

La the points, the play is CLEVELAND.

Good luck, NP
