No strong opinion but can't NOT play a rare NBA weekday matinee -- and Paris is the No. 1 city on my list to visit. Had a trip planned in 2020 but then COVID intervened. Although apparently that doesn't exist according to Aaron Rodgers. All I'm basing this on is that the Nets have one of the worst ATS road marks in the league and are 6-12 SU away, while the Cavs are 8-7-1 ATS on the road (realize I'm not doing the spread but for info purposes) and 9-7 SU away. Spencer Dinwiddie has been downgraded to questionable for Brooklyn with an illness and if one Nets player doesn't feel well ... then again, maybe he just had too much Camembert.

Jarrett Allen and the Cleveland Cavaliers have been playing good basketball despite losing two of their best players in Darius Garland and Evan Mobley to injuries. Cleveland has won three consecutive games and seven of their last 10 games overall. Jarrett Allen has really stepped up for the Cavs and is averaging 19 PPG, 15 RPG, 5 APG, for a total of 39 PRA, over his last 7 games. While Allen is undoubtedly playing well, he has taken advantage of some soft matchups and against teams that play up tempo. The Cavs will face a Nets team that plays at the 5th slowest pace in the league and are tough on opposing Centers. I believe this line is ultimately inflated.
