At the risk of sounding reductive, that seems like a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, these teams couldn&#8217;t be more different when you zoom out. The Cavs (57-14) have the NBA&#8217;s best record, while the Trail Blazers are an unimpressive 32-40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> But Portland fights tooth and nail on a nightly basis and is one of the league&#8217;s best teams ATS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>40-31-1 ATS (third-best in NBA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20-11-0 ATS as home underdogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>13-2 vs. a +10.5 spread in last 15<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blazers played the Cavs in Cleveland on March 2 and blew a 17-point lead before eventually falling 133-129 in overtime. Mitchell didn&#8217;t play in that game and I expect a similar result with him sidelined tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Garland 24+ points<\/strong> <\/strong>(-109):<\/strong> Garland stunk the joint out against Portland in that overtime thriller, scoring just 13 points on 4-of-16 shooting. It was ugly, but I&#8217;m willing to look past it for a few reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Garland has scored 20+ points in each of his other five games without Mitchell this season (25+ points four times). <br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Portland allows the seventh-most points per game to opposing point guards (25.22), per Fantasy Pros.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Garland&#8217;s recent form would suggest he&#8217;s a fade candidate tonight, as he&#8217;s gone under this mark in five straight games. But he still averaged 15.2 shots, and Mitchell was on the court each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A higher uptick in volume should push this over the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Strus 2+ threes<\/strong> (<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-305):<\/strong> I&#8217;ll be pretty miffed if Strus is the one to sink this SGP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shooting guard checks all the boxes to reach this milestone, shooting 40.5% from deep in March and going 8-4 against this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strus takes 77% of his shots from deep, which ranks in the 95th percentile of all NBA players, according to Cleaning the Glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blazers rank 21st in opponent 3-point rate (36.3%), and Strus went 4-for-11 against them on March 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cavaliers vs. Trail Blazers predictions made at 11:15 a.m. ET 03\/25\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cleveland Cavaliers close out a messy West Coast road trip on Tuesday when they play the Portland Trail Blazers.
