Randy’s Free Pick
I don’t want to back the San Antonio Spurs as much as the next guy, as they’re a complete mess and in full tank mode. The Cavs should cruise here. However, this line is massive, and it’s the biggest favorite the Cavs have been all season. Lots of points. Just how motivated are the Cavs to lay the wood, especially with the 76ers on deck. I’ll take a chance with the Spurs and hope for a backdoor cover.
