Default Memphis @ Cleveland (-10)

Who is your pick? This is very obvious choice for Memphis but why is the spread that big?

Cav's for me... Shaq's to much for Gasol in the interior and Cleveland can defend a lot better without Mo Will in the game. Parker will shut down Mayo. Conley is the Xfactor for Memphis but he won't be able to score enough points. Cleveland at home is money in the bank irregardless of the line.

The line is that high for a reason. Memphis is not a powerhouse on the road and they will be weary. If Cleveland is interested tommorow nite this could be ugly. Still, the line is a little pricey, but this is a Cleveland play or pass. I certainly like getting Cleveland for the 1H or 1Q.. That's usually when they do their most damage. Cleveland something like -5.5 1H is not bad and is the best value in taking Cleveland.

If you learn to take Cleveland and the over every game for the 1H every game and especially at home you will make good money.

Me, personally I will have Cleveland and the over for the 1H tommorow. Cleveland, is a great defensive team, but they choose not to play defense usually until the second half

Halftime score tommorow my guess is Cleveland 62 Memphis 50

If the line remains that way until gametime, I'd do Cavs -10.

4 games in 5 days for the Grizz, the Cavs have had a much easier recent schedule.

I still like the Grizz here, their players should be fired up for this game, chance to beat the Lakers & Cavs b2b, send a message to the rest of the association...

Spread about right considering Memphis usually lose by at least ten when they play in Cleveland. Not to mention Cleveland has a day of rest and Memphis is a little tired and somewhat satified from getting a victory tonight over the Lakers.

Memphis is coming off a very emotional win over the Lakers. I doubt if they'll have much left in the tank when they face Cleveland.

Many big boys in the industry are taking cavs as one of the plays of the year. Just be careful betting on Memphis because the cavs are on fire and will lay down a hammer job.

still cant understand the line. i like memphis.. the line simply suggests cav will have blowout win again... even if cav can cover this, i will imagine some FTs result down the stretch when mayb, cav r leading by 8 or 9 points in last min. but it's hard to imagine cav will have another blowout win after last 3 blowouts

The game will probably not be that close that it comes down to free throws. By the end of the 3rdQ Memphis will be playing all their reserves because they are down by 20+. Im telling you this line looks like value to the inexperinced bettor taking Memphis, but Memphis is about to walk into a nightmare tommorow. Their fun ended tonite. I think Cle comes out fast and puts this to bed early. I don't think -10.5 will be good for the 1H either. Cleveland will most likely have 60+ pts by the half and Memphis shot their wad tonite. They simply won't be able to run with the Cavs and Lebron. I am sure Lebron will have 20+pts at the break. Who on Memphis will guard him??

Grizzlies bad road team on back to back against fresh Cavs...public is going to love Grizz extra due to Lakers win. Need to do a little more research and look deeper into line movement, matchups, Grizz on back2back, betting percentages, etc.
