10* UNDER Cavs/Lakers (TOTAL EXPRESS)

It's pretty crazy to think that the Cleveland Cavaliers are favored on the road in LA against LeBron James and the Lakers, but here we are. The Cavs are 7-1 and the Lakers are 2-6. From a situational stand-point, I like the way this one sets up to be a lower-scoring defensive battle. Any time that James plays the Cavaliers, he takes it personally. The fact that they're favored here, won't be sitting well with The King. The Lakers are 2-3 at home, and they'll need to run their offense through their big man AD to win this game in my estimation. That means a lot of half court sets when you're on offense. The Cavs are off a 112-88 destruction of the Pistons. Their defense has been solid. With a game against the Clippers here tomorrow, they'll have to save some gas in the tank. For a number of different reasons, I love the way this one sets up to be a defensive affair; this number is high, the play is the under!
