Why Bet on the Cleveland Cavaliers?

The Cavs recovered from a two-game losing streak in their first two games. They now enter the contest with a win against the Hawks and the Nuggets, respectively.

One of the biggest threats the Cavs present is their ability to make shots in the paint. The side averages 54.0 points in the paint (4th).
