Cleveland ov 187 1/2 (2 units)
No big plays at first, as I like to scout some, watch and learn before we go for the heavier weights. Going to run 2-5. Ivan is not around to ask, when are we going to bet more units, and I still would not anyway. This is one of many series where opponents have faced each other many times recently, post season. Big letdown last year for Wash as they came in seriously limping. Down to really one scoring threat. Cavs manhandled them, in a sweep. Not so lucky this year as Wash might be close to healthy, where Cavs could have some injuries. Historically this number has always been around 195, 196. Big drop because? Because Wash scores less? I am not sure of that, or that the Cavs are really that good defensively. Before last year's lopsided series the other games were nailbiters, very close, foul and shoot at end. Feel that will comeback this season as Cavs peaked last year with easy ride and Wash dumped quick with no bullets to fire. My number is 193 so a good 5+ point value, on a could be close game. This is more of a value retro play. As in teams will return to form before last season. Don't go crazy first games, keep the plays low for now.
