Sonics +7½ at Cavs
Game Time: 12/15/2006 7:30:00 PM

With a solid record versus the numbers in this series, the SuperSonics are the play when they travel to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers.
The Sonics travel to the 'Q' to take on LeBron & Company in a perfect set.
That's because Seattle is in off a 15-point loss at Chicago while the Cavs are in off a home revenge win over Charlotte.
Seattle (10-13) lost back-to-back road games on Tuesday and Wednesday in Milwaukee and Chicago, covering the 94-93 loss to the Bucks thanks in part to Rashard Lewis' 26 points. Over his last five games, Lewis is dead on his season average of 22.6 points per game and is doing so with an increase in his shooting percentage (49.7% on the season, 53.8% in last five).
Cleveland (13-8) has failed to cover in two of their last three wins at home, the most recent on Wednesday when they held on for a 104-101 win over Charlotte as heavy favorites.
Noting Seattle's 18-9-1 against the spread mark in this series, including 10-4-1 versus the numbers as the visitor, we'll back the Sonics here tonight.
