By Marc Lawrence, PlaybookSports.com — The Cavaliers and the Nets meet in Brooklyn tonight with the winner of tonight’s contest holding the tie-breaker between the 7th and 8th seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
According to Victor King’s NBA Day to Day Trends in the PLAYBOOK NBA Newsletter these two teams may not be able to slow one another down as the Cavs are 5-0 OVER in their last 5 as non-division road dogs, as well as 5-1 OVER the last 6 games in this series.
On the opposite side of the court, the Nets are 6-1 OVER after facing the Knicks, and 9-3 OVER in one-day rest versus two-day rest situations.
Nix the side here. The OVER looks like clover.
