The Friday Night HOT Side is on Cleveland at 8:40 eastern. The Cavs took apart Utah on the road last out and qualify in a huge Z-Factor system as note that Road favorites of 5 or less off a road dog win and prior road favored win are perfect to the spread since 1995 vs an opponent like the Spurs that are off  a home favored loss. These small chalk road warrior win by an average 15 points per game setting up the Z Factor scenario. The Spurs  have failed to cover 6 of 7 after putting up 120+ , 5 of 7 off a loss and 5 of 7 here at home vs Cleveland. The Cavs have covered 21 of 26 off a spread win,5 of 6 vs .400 or less and 23 of 28 after scoring 100 or more. Cleveland is a HOT Side tonight.
