Cleveland at Los Angeles

The Cleveland Cavs are 46-18, but you have to think that many surrounding the team are disappointed in those numers as this was supposed to be the year Lebron and Co. challenged for an NBA Title. The Cavs, despite being 28 games over .500, have a losing ATS mark and have not been as good as advertised with 16 of their games showing the points have mattered. The Clippers have been every bit their equal at 42-22 on the season. I think the decisive factor in this contest is the Clippers' continued improvement on the defensive end of the floor where they have held six of their last 14 opponents to under 40% shooting. And if their is an area that needs work on this Cavs team, it is on the defensive end where they have held just a single team in their last 12 games to under 40% from the floor. Defense wins big games, and right now the Clippers have been the better team on that end of the floor. Make the play on the Los Angeles Clippers and on the UNDER.
