The Cavaliers are coming into this game with a 33-21 record overall and they are 17-9 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak after another win in their last game.

The Cavaliers have an ATS record of 32-19-3 this season and their O/U record is 20-33-1.

 

 

The Spurs are coming into this game off of a massive win against the Rockets but the Rockets are garbage and the Spurs had lost 3 straight games prior to that win. All 3 of those losses were against playoff bound teams and the Cavaliers join that category as they are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. The Spurs beat up on a bad team in their last game but they are not trending in the proper direction losing 3 of their last 4 games. They are going up against a Cavaliers team that is not only one of the best in the Eastern Conference but has also won 3 of their last 4 games. These teams have been trending in opposite directions recently and the Cavaliers are a much better team anyway as the Spurs will likely be left out of the playoffs this season. The Cavaliers should clean up at home here and win this game by double digits.

"It's surreal. I brought my parents out here. I made them come out here for my first game. I just kept talking about it. It's crazy that we're here. A year and some change ago, I was dealing with that second surgery in (Las) Vegas away from Portland and now we're here and all that's behind me. It's just a crazy feeling. I'm super happy." - Zach Collins on being back after their win against the Rockets on Friday night.

 

 

"These are the moments that we live for, to be honest. When one of us gets going like Cedi did, it's contagious and infectious and we feed off that. We have so much fun playing in front of this crowd." - Kevin Love after their win against the Pacers on Sunday night.
