Cleveland at Dallas

img7:35 PM Eastern

Cleveland has gone 11-2 at home but they have already lost five road games out of 14. Dallas has a team that can definitely hang with the Cavs, especially at home. The Mavs are outscoring Cleveland and playing nearly as good defense. The Cavs are off a very low-scoring game in which they managed just 85 vs. Milwaukee. Dallas is off a very high-scoring game, and they are good in this situation, going 18-8 ATS since last season after a game in which 215+ points were scored. This is an important game for Dallas as they are looking to avenge a 111-95 beat down by Dallas the last time these teams met. The Mavericks are good revenging a loss, going 42-24 ATS in their last 66 home games revenging a loss in which their opponent scored 110+ points. Rick Carlisle coached teams are 105-72 ATS revenging a road loss too. I like Dallas here.
