    Why the ***** is San Antonio only -9 over Cleveland??

    Wanted to bet Cleveland here, but +9? Give me a break. No one will be betting Cleveland +9, will they?

    Line should be at least 11

    Lines be crazy

    Cleveland has last their last 6 games.

    Here are the loss margins in those games:

    Orlando 13 points
    Phoenix 25 points
    Philly 18 points
    Detroit 12 points
    Milwaukie 37 points
    New York 16 points

    Nah man. I want to bet Cleveland. Line just seems short, ergo no bet. I will be quite surprised if money comes pouring in on Cleveland and this line goes off less than 9.

    They are probably planning on a lot fewer minutes from their starters tonight, although SA has great depth.

    If Irving isn't playing pound away, if he is, certainly a trap game.

    If Irving doesn't play the line will go up to DD. The Cavs are awful except for Irving. Half of the guys play major minutes are D-Leaguers

    Line should be at least 9.13 I think, way to low at 9. Good luck!

    lol

    3 road teams this year have layed 11 or more. The favorite has only covered one of those 3 games.

    If you look at road teams this year laying 8 or more the favorites are 16-10 ats.

    If you look at road teams this year laying 9 or more the favorites are 10-5 ats.

    Cleveland has been in 2 games this year at home with a spread above 9. They are 0-2 in those games. They lost to Miami by 24 while getting 9.5 and they lost to Chicago by 21 while getting 10.

    I'm seriously considering laying 8.5 on the Spurs right now. This line is dumb.

    Lol Only 9???? Do you really think because CLE has lost a ton of games recently by 15 points that they'll make the Spurs a 12-15 point fav on the road? If you think it is so low, take SA -9.

    A tip to remember boys:
    This is the type of game where sharp-squares come out and tell you to bet Cleveland because the line is telling you to. If that is the only angle you can find do not bet it.
    The only thing that made sense in this game was season long ats and recent ats, spurs killing and cavs terrible in both categories. That was the only angle for taking the Cavs, but then when you set the line at -9 that angle goes out the window.

    Can't say I warned you. 1/2 the cavs roster will be out of the league next year.
