Charlotte is going to run out of gas after squeezing past Toronto last night. They gave an impressive effort considering the pounding they took, and being competitive here will fall on the likes of Shaun Livingston, Tyrus Thomas and Matt Carroll, reserves who haven't historically been very dependable. Memphis has an opportunity to impose its will and make this an early night. Lay the six points at home.

Do I think that Lebron's former team has any chance to beat Lebron's current team? Of course not. This is as lopsided of a game as there might possibly be in the entire NBA. But with that said there is still a little bad blood between these players and after getting absolutely bushwhacked at home a few weeks ago I can see these Cavaliers play one of their better games of the season.
The Cavs have certainly been reeling big time ever since that defeat unlike the Heat who have surged into clear elite status. So in terms of the talent and the hotter team it's not even a contest as they win hands down. Lebron, D Wade and Bosh will win this game and could do so going away but guys like Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison and Boobie Gibson among a few others would love nothing less than to get a little vengeance at the hands of their former teammate. It's probably asking too much to actually walk off of the court as the victor but these guys are still professionals that should be properly motivated in this game.
It may be a 15-point Miami lead at the break as that is certainly possible. But in the end I can't help but grab this gaudy number in this spot and expect the Cavs to perform better tonight in South Beach than they did at Quicken Loans Arena a few weeks back in the King's return.
