Key facts

• Jarrett Allen, Colin Sexton and Rajon Rondo will not play for the Cavs
• Tim Hardaway Jr., Trey Burke and Theo Pinson will not play for the Mavs
• Dallas has won 6 of the last 7 games against Cleveland but the Cavs won the first game this season by 114-96

This game is important for both teams. The Cavs have fallen to 7th place in the East and are trying to go back up to a spot that leads straight to the playoffs while the Mavs are already there but are playing to get a home-court advantage in the first round. The Mavs are the better team mainly because Luka Doncic but he didn't make much of a difference in the last game between these two teams as the Cavs won by 18 points. The Mavs are definitely the better and more experienced team but the Cavs are 24-14 at home. Doncic and the Mavs will have a tough time in Cleveland and therefore I suggest placing a bet on +7.5 points for the Cavs.
