Utah at Cleveland

The NBA season is a long grind. During the course of an 82 game regular season, we will see great teams struggle, and poor teams get hot and play like a playoffs-caliber team. Cleveland is a prime example of a poor team that has found confidence and is playing through a hot stretch. The Cavs have just 23 wins on the season and 30% of those have come in their recent 7-3 run over their last 10 games. Utah has just seven road wins on the season and only one has come against a winning team - that was against Houston all the way back on December 2nd. The Cavs have a losing record, but right now they are playing like a winning team, and that spells trouble for the Jazz here. Play Cleveland on the moneyline.
