The SportsGrid NBA Betting Model thinks the Cavaliers will dominate the Trail Blazers. According to the model, Cleveland has an 83.87 percent chance of winning, a fair moneyline of -520, and an expected margin of victory of 11.6 points. Over at Fanduel Sportsbook, the Cavs are -235 on the moneyline and -6 on the spread. OK, so everyone agrees Cleveland will win, but the model thinks they’re just going to win by more.
The Cavaliers are sixth in the Eastern Conference but have lost five of their past seven. Their previous game was a 110-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
