Opening Line: Pistons PK , Total 185.5
The Cleveland Cavaliers will try and bounce back from a poor effort on Monday when they were blown out by Orlando 104-90. LeBron James led the Cavaliers with 30 points and 9 rebounds. “We had some careless turnovers,” said James. “We could have done some things differently in the second half. We didn’t play bad; they were just knocking down shots that were contested.”
SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Cavaliers at Home.
The Cavaliers have been up and down lately and don’t seem to have the same chemistry as last season. Head coach Mike Brown believes the team still has time to come together and be ready for the playoffs. "It doesn't matter who we play in the playoffs,” Brown said, “We've shown we'll be ready. It doesn't matter what seed we are. For us, the season is the playoffs, and we'll be ready to rock-n-roll when it comes."
SBG Global Current Line: Cavaliers -1 , Total 185.5
