Kings at Cavaliers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Cavaliers 112, Kings 108
Money line (ML)
The CAVALIERS (+140) are playing in the second end of a back-to-back, which is likely why they're short 'dogs at home. However, the last time they played on the second end of a back-to-back they topped the Celtics in Cleveland, and on St. Patrick's Day, which is especially impressive against Boston. Cleveland has won two of the past three games at home against Toronto and Boston, both wins coming as 7.5-point underdogs.
Meanwhile, the Kings (-165) are rather heavy favorites for a team that's coming off a 129-105 dusting in Philadelphia, while losing three of their past five to kick off the road trip.

Against the spread (ATS)
The CAVALIERS +4 (-110) are catching two buckets at home, so they're not a bad play if you're looking for a little insurance and don't trust them on the second end of the back-to-back.
The Kings -4 (-110) are 5-14 ATS in the past 19 overall, and 2-5 ATS in the past seven as a favorite. The Cavs are 5-1 ATS in their previous six at home, and 6-2 ATS in the past eight against teams with a losing overall record.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 224.5 (-105) is worth a look despite Cleveland's recent total trends. The Over is 4-0 in their past four, and 4-0 in their past four at home, too. However, the Under is 4-1 in the past five for the Cavs when playing on no rest. The Kings have hit the Under in five of the past six, too.
