The Cavs are coming off a 113-104 win over the Bucks at home last night while the Nets are coming off a 105-100 loss at home to the Hornets on Tuesday. Brooklyn has lost seven of its last eight. Cleveland is winning games, but not covering too often. The Cavs are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 overall and 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 conference games. When Cleveland turns it on, the Cavs are very tough to deal with. However, Cleveland doesn’t seem to turn it on too much lately. Are they worn down, or are they conserving? They probably don’t need to sell out to beat the Nets, so don’t expect them to.
