With the volatility that cavs and lakers have shown this year, I consider this game almost a toss-up, certainly not skewed all the way to +360. I try to overlook recent results, but Cavs have shown some pride since the break whereas Lakers can't seem to find a way to win.
Andre Miller has really shown he's a special player (overused term) this year, with a great TO/Assist ratio and many steals. While the Cavs have nothing to put up against Shaq, they do have enough 6'11" guys to whale on him for 48 minutes, and I think that Shaq's play in his second game back is enough of a variable so that Lakers can't be such a huge fave SU. I'm leaning towards Cavs with the points, too.
Also like memphis +100. These guys are young and seem to be coming more and more together as the season progresses. They're playing hard for full games, and getting some production out of Gasol. Nice win at the Nest on Sunday, and they played the Spurs pretty tough, though I don't like the lack of scoring in the 4th. I don't think JW is playing, but I really don't care as Brevin Knight has shown he can handle matters and has amuch better TO/Assist ratio that JW. The Suns are in complete disarray having failed to win since the coaching change. Look for a lot of ML value on Memphis this half. I think they pull more than their share of upsets.
