    I know the obvious answer is to take the ML, whats the true value?

    Cavs -1 @ -110
    Cavs ML @ -115

            All sharps would buy a point and a half in this spot.

              this is perhaps the worst spot across every single sport there is to buy pts (assuming standard 10 cent for 1/2 pricing)

                  No, the obvious answer is -1 -110. As durito said, the point is worth five cents so these lines are virtually identical. Thus, take the play laying less juice.

                    -115/-105 is slightly less juice than -110/-110. Assuming an equal edge the -115 is also preferable for bankroll growth.

                      Honestly I don't think it going to matter as I think Cleveland will lose 2 games in a row.
                      If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

                      I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!

                        Why not get the (+1 @ -103)?
