Cavs Look To Extend Winning Streak Against Clippers

The Cleveland Cavaliers have won 11 games in a row and will be looking to extend that winning streak to 12 against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Los Angeles lost in their last outing, 102-100 against the Brooklyn Nets. They also failed to cover a –8.5 point spread as favorites.

The Cavs failed to cover a huge 17-point spread as favorites in their last outing against the Philadelphia 76ers. They would win the game, however, 97-84.

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving along with a strong off-the-bench performance from J.R. Smith is leading the Cavs to victories. However, Kevin Love has not been playing his best. He finished the game with a season-low five points.

Cleveland has been kind to better as of late, going 9-2 against the spread in their last 11 games.

The total for this game is set at 208 points. The UNDER was profitable in Cleveland’s last outing. LA also sent UNDER bettors to the window in their last game. The Clippers and the Cavs have hit the UNDER in their last five games.
