Dr Bob Analysis
Opinion – L.A. Clippers (+4) over CLEVELAND
Rotation #705 – 5:05 pm Pacific
Cleveland being favored by 4 points suggests that the Cavaliers are 1 ½ to 2 points better than the Clippers on a neutral floor. The Clippers may have lost 3 straight games and covered in just 1 of their 8 games but I still don’t think they’re worse than the Cavaliers, who have covered the spread in only 4 of their last 14 games and are also coming off an ugly loss (101-118 at Milwaukee) after barely beating the 76ers. If I only used the Clippers last 8 games, when they’ve been slumping, and excluded the game against Brooklyn that Blake Griffin did not play in, then I’d get Cleveland by 4 points.
So, the question is if the Clippers are going to continue to play at their worst level (i.e. their last 8 games), or are they going to play at their average rating for the season, which would make the prediction on this game a pick. The line is fair at the very worst and I think a fair line is Cavaliers by 1 ½ points. I strongly considering making the Clippers a Best Bet in this game but I’ll just make this an opinion.
