NBA MARQUEE MATCH UP! The Warriors will be looking for big time revenge here as we all remember what happened on Christmas day. They did do the Cavs a favor here on this west coast trip giving them 2 days off before wrapping up with this game. I see the this getting ugly early. The Warriors are a wrecking ball @ home winning by a margin of 14. Cavs aren't playing their best either prior to covering last game they had failed to cover 6 in a row. Lay the points

NBA BLOWOUT ATS WINNER! This Pacers team is just a different animal @ home as compared to the road. They are 15-5 SU @ home this season and are coming off a ugly neutral court loss to the Nuggets.

Also I don't believe Korver will play tonight so the Cavs are limited with players here.
