Cleveland Cavaliers vs Utah Jazz Prediction
On paper the Cavs should win this game comfortably and the Jazz haven’t been covering numbers over the last two weeks. However, despite the wins, the Cavs haven’t been covering numbers all season. The Cavaliers are 30-43-1 ATS on the season. Only the Kings are worse at cashing tickets. Since November 15, the Cavs are 3-13-1 ATS as a double-digit favorite. The Jazz also beat the Cavs back in January on the road as a 13-point underdog. I’m going to grab the points with the Jazz at home.
