Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been ridiculous up to this point, and they could easily blow the doors off yet again. Stepping in front of the Cavs right now probably isn’t a great idea. However, the Nets aren’t winning, but they’re 7-2 ATS on the season. Also, the Cavs are coming off a big blowout win over the Warriors last night, and it could create a letdown spot. At some point, the Cavs have to have a hiccup. Maybe? Lots of points. I’ll side with the Nets and the free buckets.
