Cleveland -6.5 / Orlando, -107 (5Dimes)
I decided to go ahead and tack on a third favorite spread cover tonight (76ers, Warriors) by the Cavaliers. The concerns about LeBron, the state of the team with 48 hours until the trade deadline, and the dismal defensive efforts are all legitimate, but there's no better opponent to bounce back against after 2 full days of rest, and the line only got friendlier as the day has passed. Orlando is decimated with injuries as well and will be showcasing trade-bait until the trade deadline come Thursday. I see a Cleveland victory, and with that I see it by well more than the 7 points they need to cover.
