The Cavs are very short-handed but getting this many points at home against a Jazz team on the tail end of a long trip and in the front end of a back-to-back is too good to pass up. The Cavs are 4-1 ATS in their past five as home dogs.
This is the biggest William Hill spread on Tuesday (just jumped from -10 to -12), and there's little doubt Utah should win as the Cavs are without Collin Sexton, Darius Garland and Kevin Love not to mention playing the second of a back-to-back (see news feed story). However, the Jazz might be on fumes in game No. 6 of a season-long seven-game trip and they also play again Wednesday night, so perhaps Coach Quin Snyder limits his key guys' minutes. Utah is just 4-10 ATS in its past 14 as a road favorite. The Cavs are 3-0-1 ATS in their past four in the second of a B2B.
The Cavaliers lead the NBA in defensive efficiency, and they're also last in scoring. Collin Sexton continues to deal with an ankle injury that's sidelined him for three games. Look for the Under to improve to 9-2-1 in Cleveland games this season.
