Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is betting on the Cavaliers -3.5…
Thomas: “The Cavs had their winning streak ended on Sunday. They will look to bounce back against the Clippers. The Clippers have been hot from Intuit Dome, but this is a bad matchup. The length of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley should cause problems for the Clippers. 3.5 on the best team in the East feels like we are getting a discount.”
