Cleveland Cavaliers vs Washington Wizards Prediction
Massive line and this could be a look-ahead spot for the Cleveland Cavaliers after just beating the Celtics. However, the Wizards are arguably the worst team in the league, they don’t play defense, and they’re 5-12-1 ATS on the season. The Wizards are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a double-digit underdog. The Cavaliers have been on fire SU and ATS this season and until that stops, you kind of just have to keep blindly backing them. The Cavs beat the Wizards in October, 135-116. I’ll lay the points with the Cavs as a fade of the Wizards.
