Alternate Spread - 1st Half +5.5 • Cleveland Cavaliers

I’m taking Cleveland Cavaliers +5.5 1st Half Spread --147 because bookmakers aren’t giving them much credit, which is often where value hides if you like close games. The +5.5 basically says they can lose by less than six or win, so expect a game decided by a couple of tense possessions rather than a blowout. Don’t mistake confidence for certainty — bet within your limits.
