Cavaliers vs Spurs Prediction, Betting Analysis
Cleveland Cavaliers +2.5
We will trust the road underdog in this matchup.
The Cavs are back to near full strength for this contest, as big man Evan Mobley returned on Christmas Day, scoring 14 points in 25 minutes.
At full strength, we will take the points with the Cavs tonight.
Evan Mobley 12+ Points
We will link up with our Action Pro Report for this prop.
Mobley logged 25 minutes on Christmas Day, and then logged 20 minutes in the Cavs' last game against the Rockets.
I expect Mobley to play 23-27 minutes tonight, which should bode well for this prop.
Our Action Pro Report projects 14.7 points.
