Cleveland has allowed 100 points in a game almost as many times this year as it did all last season but expect it to come out with some defensive intensity after getting booed at home in a Sunday loss to Golden State. Warriors have a lot more speed, depth and shooters than do this version of the Heat so the Cavs should have an easier time of it in front of the National TV audience.
I prefer Cleveland here.
These teams aren't on National TV often and that's going to mean offense, not defense. Seattle gives up 107 per game on the road and Portland's lit it up and scored 100.6 its last five games. Clubs have gone over the total in five of the last eight meetings. In fact, SEATTLE is 144-100 OVER vs. division opponents since 1996.
Seems Over to me.
Cleveland - WON!
SEATTLE - PORTLAND - over LOST!
