This is a 10* TOTAL BIG TIGER on the OVER between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Dallas Mavericks.

I jumped on this line the second it came out and got 202, it almost immediately dropped after that, but regardless, I love this play as for a number of different situational and strong trend based reasons I expect this total to eclipse the posted number as the game comes down the stretch. Note that since losing to the Mavs in the NBA Finals, LeBron James has averaged 32.2 points on 63.3 percent shooting while winning all six regular-season meetings with them since. Also note that James wasn't in the line-up when the Cavs lost to Dallas 109-90 at home back on January 4th. Obviously the Mavericks won't be simply rolling over today, far from it, after losing four of its previous five Dallas finally comes in with some momentum after beating the Lakers 100-93 on Sunday. Note that Cleveland has seen the total go OVER the number in five of eight this year when playing with two days of rest, while Dallas has seen the total sail above the posted number in nine of 16 this season when playing the role of underdog. In my opinion, the situation, the number and the trends do all indeed point to the OVER as the sharp move in this contest.
