Spread +2.5 • Cleveland Cavaliers

Alright, so my pick is Cleveland Cavaliers +2.5 --110 — I know, sounds a little bold coming from me, but I'm putting some faith in the Cavs to hang around. I'm betting 4 units and trying not to freak out about the last-minute swings. The +2.5 spread basically means I expect a close game where Cleveland can either win or lose by no more than two, so this should stay within reach late and give us a cover if it’s tight.
