The Cavs covered and won their last time out, which hasn't meant good things for them the following game. Cleveland is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a win and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games following a cover. They'll be going up against a Portland team that is 13-7 ATS against the East this season as well as 22-12 ATS as a favorite (5-3 as a road favorite). Plus, the Blazers are trying to stay in the top four of the West to get homecourt while the Cavs are hoping to increase the number of lottery balls they get this spring.
The return of Kevin Love certainly makes the Cavaliers more dangerous. However, the talent gap between these two teams is massive. The Blazers made an underrated move by bringing in Enes Kanter, who has averaged 17 points and 8.5 rebounds off the bench in two games since joining the team. I think they win this one going away.
