SourcePick Ideas
Lean: Under 227.5
The under is worth a look at 227.5 because Oklahoma City's last four road games stayed below the total, though Cleveland's recent scoring form is a counterpoint.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander points prop
Consider 25 or more points if the available line and price are reasonable; Gilgeous-Alexander averages 26.0 points per game.
Cleveland moneyline
Cleveland at around -168 is a possible moneyline option for bettors who prefer the home side without laying the spread, though the price limits value.
