1. Cavs +3
I know I sound like a broken record when I talk about the Cavs but I like the direction that JB Bickerstaff has this team headed... He has this team believing that they can earn a playoff spot or at least a play in spot this year... The players are buying into his defensive strategies and game plans...He also has the right players to run his defensive system... The Cavs are an above average defensive team this year, they are playing hard night in and night out...
This is another revenge situation for the Cavs...They have lost 4 straight to the Wizards, the most recent being on Nov. 10 when they lost 97-94... In that game they were without 2 key Forwards...Kevin Love and Markkanen...
My only concerns are:
1. Washington is 8-2 SU and Ats at home... 4-2 Ats as a home favorite.
2. Washington recent dominance of the Cavs.
3. Washington won't be overlooking the Cavs... They have a New Coach trying to establish a consistent winning culture in Washington.
I believe The Cavs will do enough to get the job done... Cavs are 7-4 SU and 8-3 Ats on the road this season.
Final score 104-103...Cavs win outright!!!
Let's have a winning day everybody!!!
