Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction
This is going to be interesting to see how each team handled the travel and the time change, as it’s a weird game in Paris. With that said, the Brooklyn Nets aren’t a team I’m eager to back, as the losses are piling up, and they’re 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Nets were a covering machine earlier in the year, but are now just 19-17-1 ATS on the year. The Cleveland Cavaliers are riding a nice little winning streak, and they’ve won the last 3 meetings against the Nets. Give me the Cavs and the soft line.
