INDIAN COWBOY (NBA)

4-Unit Play. #501. Take Cleveland -7 over New York (Thursday @ 8:05pm est)

Cleveland is going to get up for this game in a big way. If you remember one of the earliest tilts this year in the NBA was when Cleveland and New York hooked up and New York beat Cleveland as it took some time for this to team to gel. Now Cleveland sits at 9-7 and New York is a lowly 4-15 with Melo openly admitting he should have gone to Chicago as it would have been a perfect fit for him. If New York found it difficult to beat Brooklyn losing by 5 points at home and losing to Miami by 7 points at home, imagine the difficult they might face in hooking up with Cleveland who lost to this team on their home floor and now who seeks revenge. Cleveland is playing good basketball right now having won 4 in a row. Note that Cavs are 5-1 in their last 6 road games when they face a team with a losing home record and the Knicks continue to struggle against the Eastern Conference as they are 1-10 ATS in their last 12 contests against the Eastern Conference. The fact that the Knicks have lost their home court advantage is also evident as they are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 home games as well. These are the type of games where typically statements are made and though the Knicks beat the Cavs earlier this year they are getting a bit overvalued by the public here as the Cavs come into this game with revenge and will use this as a benchmark to see how much they have improved from the beginning of the year to currently.
