Reeling Wizards Host Cavs, James – Cleveland at Washington
The Cleveland Cavaliers (61-13 SU, 45-29 ATS, 31-43 O/U) have won a whopping 13 consecutive games including their low-scoring 79-73 win over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday.
Despite the win, the Cavaliers failed to cover the spread for BetOnline NBA sports betting backers as 10-point home favorites while the game played under the 178.5-point Over/Under total.
Superstar forward LeBron James had a double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds to lead Cleveland to victory.

Forward Caron Butler poured in game-high 31 points for the Wizards, and Antawn Jamison added 28 points in the loss while the 219 combined points played Over the posted O/U total of 201.5 points.
