HEAT vs. CAVALIERS
Time: Thursday 8 ET
Venue: Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland
Spread: Cavs -9.5
Over/Under: 187.5
In the TnT Thursday Night hoops opener, LeBron James gets another opportunity to show the league how much separation there is between his game and the next tier that includes Dwyane Wade.
Cleveland has 9 straight wins and 5 straight covers in taking complete control of the Eastern Conference.
The Cavs also have some incentive – they are neck and neck with the Lakers in the race for the best record in the league.
Betting Trends:
Miami is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games on the road
Miami is 1-3-1 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Cleveland
Cleveland is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games
Cleveland is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games at home
Cleveland is 8-1 SU in its last 9 games when playing Miami
Cleveland is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games when playing at home against Miami
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Miami’s last 6 games when playing on the road against Cleveland
The total has gone UNDER in 14 of Miami’s last 21 games when playing Cleveland
THURSDAY NIGHT BEST NBA PARLAY BET:
The Spurs still have cache and great name recognition, but they are no longer a good cover team. They squeaked past Sacramento Wednesday night and will have problems in the Northwest, even against an injury-weakened Trail Blazer bunch.
Even at 9.5, the Cavs should cover against Miami, which played the night before in Boston and by all appearances will have to play better than .500 ball the rest of the season to get into the playoffs. PLay is Portland +2 and Cleveland -9.5.
