Cleveland is healthier…specifically Mobley back in the fold. This will dampen Allen’s usage. Limbo lower. Under

Jarrett Allen has been playing some great basketball and stuffing the stat sheet as he has stepped up in a big way after Evan Mobley suffered a left knee injury. Allen is likely to see a significant dip in production as the Cavs big man 13/8/2 playing along Mobley, compared to 16/12/3 with Mobley on the sidelines. Mobley is tentatively expected to suit up for this game although he is likely to be on a strict minutes limit as he plays his way back into game shape. Even if Mobley were to miss the game, this is still a big number against a Clippers team that plays slow and is good defensively, in addition to surrendering minimal production to opposing bigs.

Do the Clippers go flat on Monday in Cleveland after their rousing romp past the Celtics at TD Garden on Saturday? With wins in1 3 of 15, LA hasn't had many flat spots lately, and the day off after the romp in Boston was probably a plus. This might not be the best time to catch Cleveland, which has won nine of ten (including two over the Bucks in that span), but for the most part this has been the soft end of the schedule for the Cavs, who arguably get their toughest test tonight. As long as almost all hands are on deck for the Clips, can do a lot worse than back them at a price this short. Play Clippers
