Cavaliers vs Nets

Second time Lebron James lost in Miami this season. Coming from a few impressive wins in a row, the Cavaliers had a really slow start and never recovered against the Heat. Kevin Love was getting his rest, but he should be playing tonight. There can`t be a better motivator for Lebron and his teammates than to lose a nationally broadcasted game. It has proven to be the case many times this season – if the Cavaliers are rested and healthy and if they are motivated, they are tough team to beat.

Especially for a below average team such is the Nets. Like we predicted desire to win against the shorthanded Timberwolves was enough, but the Nets didn`t impress anyone in that game. Their defense was way below any reasonable standards and although they did score a lot of points, it was mainly due to Minnesota`s lackluster performance at the defensive end. Against the Cavaliers the Nets will not have any favorable match-ups.

Just an ocean between these teams. The Cavs will be motivated to have a great game in front of their home fans. They have been running away with games against much better opponents than the Nets. We expect this game to be a one way traffic from first to last minute. Take Cavaliers to cover -11.5 points @1.909 from Pinnacle with 3/5 units.
