Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Washington Wizards (NBA) - Apr 2, 2009 9:05 PM EDTPlay: Point Spread: 10.5/-105 Washington Wizards Pick Title: Washington has dropped three straight games, the last two which have been on the road and it catches Cleveland in a very tough spot. The Cavaliers were off last night but are coming off a hard-fought win against Detroit two nights ago and they have a game at Orlando tomorrow night. That game against the Magic will likely seal home court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs so Cleveland will not be up for using all of its energy tonight. The Cavaliers have won a franchise record 13 straight games so you know the lines are now overpriced and that is certainly the case here. Washington has been a home underdog on numerous occasions this season but never by this many points. One of the closest times was against these same Cavaliers back in January when they were getting nine points and they won that game outright. Washington is 3-5 in its last eight home games but none of those five losses were by double-digits and the last two setbacks came by just a bucket each. Washington has not been a very good team when playing in the second game of a back-to-back set as it has won only once in 17 tries. However we are not asking the Wizards to win and they have been more solid when the second game is at home. They are 1-4 in those situations but 2-3 against the number which is certainly better than their straight up and against the spread records of 0-12 and 3-8-1 respectively. Cleveland has played only one road game in its last nine contests overall and has not gone on the road since March 22nd so the travel aspect could be a difficult one for sure. Washington falls into a very solid contrarian situation as well. You play on home underdogs of 10 or more points that have lost at least lost 12 of their last 15 games and going up against an opponent that has won at least eight of their last 10 games. This situation is 38-14 ATS (73.1 percent) since 1996. Gilbert Arenas will be back in the lineup after putting up a respectable 15 points and dishing out 10 assists in his season debut against Detroit last Saturday and he adds another weapon that will keep Washington within this inflated number. 3* Washington Wizards
