Why Consider Betting on Cleveland?
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won three straight and blew the Boston Celtics out of the water in their 121-99 road win on Sunday, thanks to their newly acquired players. “I like where we’re at right now, and we’ll just kind of go from there and see how it plays out,” head coach Tyron Lue told reporters Monday. LeBron James almost had a triple-double with 24 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists, new point guard Jordan Clarkson added 17 points, while JR Smith and Rodney Hood both added 15 points in the win. “I like what he brings,” Lue said. “Having Bron at the four… it’s a big disadvantage having him at the four because now you’ve got four guys that push it out on the break. I think that’s big.”Team Statistics
