2-Unit Play. Take #701 Washington (+9)
over Cleveland (7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 1)
The Cavaliers have not been a good wager this year at just 7-10 ATS. This looks like a team that is just waiting for the postseason and just trying to get through the regular season healthy. They don’t show any urgency. This is a rivalry game though. These two franchises have gotten into a lot of heated battles dating back to Lebron’s first stint with the Cavaliers. This game means more to Washington. They are just 6-8 on the season but I think they are a better team than that. The underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings in this series and Washington should be ready to snap its four-game losing streak. The Cavs didn’t look good in wins over Brooklyn or Charlotte over the weekend. I think they will do the same thing here where they will hold off the Wizards late but they will not win by a blowout. Take the points here.
