Los Angeles Clippers at Cleveland Cavaliers

Cleveland has played a very tough schedule since the end of January as it has faced Boston twice, Orlando, Dallas and Miami over its last five games and coming out of those at 2-3 isn't that bad. The Cavaliers are coming off a loss at Miami last night as the game was relatively close throughout before Miami pulled away in the fourth quarter. Cleveland is 3-3 ATS this season when playing with no rest but it is a perfect 2-0 ATS and SU when playing at home with no rest coming off a road loss.

The Clippers last played on Monday and while it resulted in a win, they lost Chauncey Billups for the season with a torn Achilles. That is a very tough loss as Billups is third on the team in scoring with 15.0 ppg, second in assists with 4.0 apg and is their best free throw shooter. Often times you will see teams step up even more when a player goes down but in this case it will be more of trying to make the correct adjustments as the Clippers will likely move Randy Foye or Mo Williams into the starting lineup.

The Clippers have won four straight games on the road which is tied for the most consecutive road wins since the team moved to Los Angeles. Overall they have won six of seven games to move to 15-7 on the season to possess a 2.5-game lead over the Lakers in the Pacific Division. While this game may look like a cakewalk, it will be far from it as Cleveland has been strong in these situations. The Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a loss.

Injuries have taken a toll on Cleveland as well as the short bench has led to a lack of production. The good news is that they are getting significant contributions from the starters and rookie Kyrie Irving is at the top of the list as he is showing what kind of player he is going to be. The Clippers are the second worst free throw shooting team in the NBA so the loss of Billups only makes it worse. The Clippers are just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games coming off a road game where both teams scored 100 or more points. 9* (510) Cleveland Cavaliers

Indiana Pacers @ Miami Heat Tuesday May 22, 2012 8:00 pm
We saw something very similar last night with Boston as the home team took advantage of having a Game Five at home and thus took control of the series with a win. Miami is in the same spot tonight and after a very inspired effort on Sunday, I expect the Heat to ride that into Tuesday. ... read more

This is a pivotal game for both sides as the winner of this game will have a big edge in the series with just one more win needed to advance. We had Philadelphia is Game Four and it was able to tie things up but now we will go the other way and take the Celtics which are in the best ... read more

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Sunday May 20, 2012 10:30 pm
We won with the Spurs on Saturday and we will go right back with them on Sunday. It was not a good day for the Staples Center home teams as the Clippers and Lakers blew a combined lead of 37 points and the former hurt the most as the Clippers are now down 3-0 in this series and you ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Sunday May 20, 2012 3:30 pm
We lost with the Heat in Game Three which was pretty much a must win spot for them and now this one turns into a definite one. A loss here and the series isn't over for Miami but it is pretty close so its needs to tie this one up before heading back home for Game Five. The Heat have ... read more

The Lakers were able to climb back into the series last night with a win over Oklahoma City to pull to within a game. It will be short-lived though as these teams play again Saturday in the second of a back-to-back playoff set at Staples Center. It was obviously a must win for Los ... read more

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Saturday May 19, 2012 3:30 pm
This is a big weekend for the Clippers which would love nothing more than to sweep the two games played in Los Angeles to even up this series but it simply will not happen. They likely will not even win one of the games as they are clearly overmatched against one of the most efficient ... read more

Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers Friday May 18, 2012 8:05 pm
We played on the Sixers Wednesday and they certainly came up small as Boston was able to grab back the home court edge after a home split in the first two games. This makes Philadelphia in a prime situation on Friday in a chance to even up this series at home. The Sixers were embarrassed ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Thursday May 17, 2012 7:05 pm
Miami let one get away in Game Two as the Heat lost at home to the Pacers and thus, lost home court advantage in this series. They need to get it back and it needs to be done here in the first game in Indiana because being down 2-1 with the possibility of being down 3-1 is not the ... read more

The Lakers were clearly outmatched in Game One against Oklahoma City as their grueling seven-game series against Denver took its toll. Even though there is just one day in-between games here as well, at least Los Angeles doesn't have to travel as it did prior to this series opener. ... read more
