Cleveland Cavaliers at Washington Wizards, 7 pm Eastern

The Pick: Cleveland +4 (-109), bet $10.90 to win $10; over 208.5 points (-109), bet $10.90 to win $10

Cleveland continues to perform well against the spread: they’ve covered their past five games in a row and are 16-5-1 overall. They’ve won three in a row straight up and continue to send signals that they’re a team on the rise. Washington is also a team on the rise, which actually indicates to me that tonight will be a hotly contested game between two teams looking to prove something. The Cavalier defense is second in the NBA at yielding points per game (101.8), which is another indicator they won’t just roll over because they’re on the Wizards’ floor.

Player Prop Parlay: Kevin Durant 20+ points w/Patty Mills under 3.5 made threes -122, bet $12.20 to win $10

Durant is averaging a league-high 28.6 points per game, and Mills is averaging only 3.1 made threes a game, so I’m paying just a touch more vig for a typical game for these two Nets.
