You always have to be careful with the Los Angeles Clippers on the end of back to backs considering half their roster likes to load manage. This is also a letdown spot after a tight and emotional game last night against the Nets. The Cleveland Cavaliers have also surprised us this season against quality completion, and they only lose in the underdog role by an average of 5.4 points. This is a lot of free buckets. Give me the Cavs here.
