Cleveland is a team that ranks second in the league in scoring at 122.1 points per game, and lead the NBA in both field goal (50.2%) and 3-point shooting (40.4%). It’s easy to chalk up this performance as an outlier.

The Cavaliers are an impressive 13-3 on the road this season and have won five straight away from home, going a perfect 5-0-0 against the spread. The bounce back was coming anyways — the Cavs have lost back-to-back games just once this year — but the injuries to Haliburton and Nesmith definitely make the choice easier.
