Cavaliers vs Spurs Prediction
The Cavs are the second-best cover team in the NBA with a cover percentage of 61.9 percent, so it’s hard to bet against them most nights. It’s also tough to make a case for the Spurs most nights. On paper, this has a chance to get ugly. However, the Cavs have cooled off over the last week, and it’s hard to follow that up by laying a massive number.
The Cavs are 2-4 ATS this month as a double-digit favorite, and one of those failed covers was an outright loss. The Spurs have covered five of their last eight games. I’m just not thrilled to lay this big of a number with the Cavs. Give me the Spurs if forced to pick.
