AAA's 10* *Cavs/Knicks* BIG APPLE TOTAL SHOWDOWN (EPIC NBA RUN CONT!)
(NBA) Cleveland vs. New York, 12/04/2014 3:00 PM, Score: 90 - 87
Total: 197.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* TOTAL SHOWDOWN on the OVER between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks.

New York has been struggling offensively all year, but I think the conditions are finally right for a higher-scoring affair and look for this total to eclipse the posted number as the game comes down the stretch. Cleveland is gunning for a fifth straight victory and will be extra motivated today as it looks to avenge a season opening loss to the Knicks, while at the same time trying its hardest to hand New York a sixth straight defeat. The Cavs are coming off a 111-108 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday, Kyrie Irving had 28 points, Kevin Love finished with 27 and LeBron James chipped in 26 points and ten assists. New York is coming off a listless 98-93 loss to Brooklyn on Tuesday, and will have a quick turn around with a game in Charlotte on Friday. The expected return of sharp shooter JR Smith will certainly help the home side today though. It's interesting to note that Cleveland has seen the total go OVER the number in five of eight this year after scoring 105 points or more, while New York has seen the total sail above the posted number in two of its last three as a home dog in the 6.5 to 9 points range. When looking at this contest situationally and from a trend based angle, in my opinion, all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the sharp wager here.
