The Cleveland Cavaliers have shown more flashes through the summer league and should be favored as the better team. However, both the Lakers and Cavs are 1-2 through three summer league games no matter how you slice it, and they’re on the end of a back to back. Who knows who is going to play in this game and who knows what to expect. We took a shot with the Lakers and the points yesterday ad it paid off. With even more points here, I’m going to grab the Lakers again.
