Fargo's NBA Friday Triple Play (6-0 Run)

This is a play on the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. Cleveland clinched a playoff spot two games back and while it lost to Atlanta in its last game, it was meaningless as this is the big one. The Cavaliers have a four-game lead over the Knicks for the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference with five games left so a victory here gives them home court advantage against New York in the first round of the playoffs and they can coast the rest of the way. This is also a double-revenge spot for Cleveland as a victory evens the season series at 2-2 and avoids giving the Knicks the first tiebreaker. New York has won two straight games following a three-game skid to keep those home court hopes alive but it suffered a big loss in the last game as forward Julius Randle left the game early with a sprained ankle and will be out until the postseason which is a big loss as he leads the team in scoring and rebounding so now it is important just for the rest of the team to remain healthy for the next week and a half. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season after two or more consecutive unders with a scoring differential between +3 to +7 ppg going up against teams with a scoring differential between +/- 3. This situation is 44-18 ATS (71 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (562) Cleveland Cavaliers
