The Cleveland Cavaliers have not looked much like a title defending team lately, winning just two of their last six games. They've had to take on both Golden State and San Antonio during that stretch though, and I think they'll put a solid beating on the New Orleans Pelicans tonight. The Pels are coming off a humbling 143-114 loss to the Nets, and they're 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home. 

The Cavs are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games, but I'm gonna take the contrarian rout here and claim that it's about time they cover the spread! Lay the points with the Cavs.
