Result: Loss
ASA NBA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 213.5 Points - Portland Trailblazers vs Cleveland Cavaliers, 7:10 PM ET - We are betting value here as this number has been set to low, AGAIN. We successfully played Under in the Blazers/Bucks game on Monday night and this is nearly the exact same setup as that game. The Cavaliers are similar to the Bucks in defensive efficiency but much better in OEFF as they average 1.162-poins per possession. Granted the Cavs play slower than the Bucks but again, they make up for it by being highly efficient. Proof is in the numbers as the Cavs average 115PPG, compared to the Bucks 111PPG. The Blazers defense has allowed their last five opponents to average over 50% shooting and the Cavs have averaged better than 50% in their last five games. Portland games this season have averaged 218.3PPG, Cavs games have averaged 223.85PPG. This is one of the lowest O/U numbers posted on a Portland game this season and the 2nd lowest on a Cavs game. This game is going to be closer to a league average game of 225.2-points, not 214. Both teams are trending in the right direction for an Over here as both teams games are averaging 226+ in their last five.
