NBA: Thursday's 10:30 p.m. ET play

Play: Cleveland -5.5 -105 and Cleveland/L.A. Lakers over 206.5 -102



Time: 10:30 p.m. ET


Reasoning: The Cavaliers have LeBron James back after an eight-game absence, and he looked fine on Tuesday against Phoenix when he poured in 33 points. Los Angeles should have Kobe Bryant in the lineup and I expect him to step up offensively in a big game after getting a lot of rest recently (he's played in just two of the Lakers' last five games). Cleveland recently added J.R. Smith and he put up 29 points against the Suns in his last contest. Both teams are below average defensively, are above average on the offensive glass and both get to the free-throw line. With James back for the last tilt, the Cavs finally scored 100 points. But defensively they've given up 105.2 ppg over their last six. Lakers games average 207.5 points.


Record: 244-189-8 (56.4%)
Bankroll: +119.12%
