Cleveland at New York

Once a team loses 26 games in a row during an NBA season, there is going to be a sparse few that will want to call their number. The Cavaliers have won a few of late, but are still just 3-15 in their last 18 games. The losing just solicits the oddsmakers to keep padding the points on, and all of a sudden the Cavs are 11-6-1 ATS in their last 18 games. The Knicks play to the level of their competition, and Cleveland beat them in their last two meetings, and the Knicks are just 3-8 ATS as a favorite of -6.5 or more on the season. They have not been favored by more than -8.5 all year. This is a big overlay with underachieving Knicks vs. bad teams. Cleveland is my call.
