Best Bet for Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Best Bet: Cleveland Cavaliers -11 (-114)

Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers is Cavaliers -11 (-114) against the spread.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been playing excellent basketball lately and are already one of the top-seeded teams in the East. In their last ten games, the Cavs have managed to win seven fixtures and have taken their seasonal tally to 37-24. Statistically, they own the sixth-best offensive rating in the league, while defensively, they are seeded 12th among 30 teams.

On the other hand, the Nets are one of the worst-performing teams in the league. They are among the worst-five performing teams offensively and defensively.

The spread at Cavs -11 fits the visiting team well owing to their excellent form and the Nets’ woeful campaign. They can easily cover such spots, and the forthcoming game is a chance for them to strike back and end their losing skid.

Considering their elite offense, defense and overall record, we are comfortably laying the Cleveland Cavaliers -11 (-114) as our Best Bet, and expect them to cover the number seamlessly.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: Cleveland Cavaliers -15.5 (alternate spread)
Leg 2: James Harden Over 21.5 points
Leg 3: Jarrett Allen Over 17.5 points

Combined odds: +800

We have built this same-game parlay around the Cleveland Cavaliers to blow the Nets out in front of their own home crowd. With Donovan Mitchell missing action, we can expect James Harden to take the offensive charge for his new team if he plays. Jarrett Allen could also come forward to create an impactful performance.

These legs are correlated considering if the Cavaliers win big at home, their players will get volume, and they would end up with more scoring opportunities. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
