Cavs ML
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the best stories in the NBA this season, jumping out to a 14-12 record with the sixth best net rating in the NBA. The team has the third best defensive rating in the league this season, mainly because they have one of the best big men in the league at switching onto guards in Mobley. Despite being a rookie, Mobley has the length and speed to stick with the quicker ball handlers of Minnesota like Edwards. Not to mention, Cleveland can check Karl Anthony-Towns with Jarrett Allen on the block which is a big difference maker tonight.
Looking at the betting trends, the Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games, 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a losing record and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games overall. The Cavs are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in Minnesota, they play well here and in another position to get a helping W. Honestly, Cleveland is legit and it’s probably smart to keep betting them with these generous lines until the market adjusts.
Friday night plans!

Bucks vs Rockets +8.5 . Rockets have a better record, backcourt, frontcourt, starters, bench, in the paint, out of paint rank than the bucks in the last 5 games (albeit against bad teams).
Knicks ML vs Raptors. The Raptors are 4-9 at home whilst the Knicks are 7-5 on the road. Raptors are without OG, Birch, and Dragic due to injury/personal reasons with precious Achiuwa questionable. Also there has been a COVID outbreak in Raptors so there could be a potential unexpected player out. Knicks have their full roster with only Noel questionable. Knicks definitely have the size advantage here with Robinson and Noel (if he plays). Knicks have the depth here with their bench and that should be where they win.
