Cavs vs 76ers

Bonus Play Cleveland Cavaliers

Based on sheer talent, the Cavaliers should blow out the 76ers by at least 20 points. Philadelphia is 0-2 losing by 17 points to the Celtics and by 28 to the Jazz this past Friday in their home opener.

The question for the Cavaliers isn't winning, but covering this double-digit road spread. I see the situation laying out well for Cleveland to do that.

The Cavaliers also had the weekend to rest, a big key for LeBron James. Cleveland doesn't play again until Wednesday when it hosts another bad team, the Knicks.

The 76ers upset the Cavaliers at Wells Fargo Center last season in a game that James did not play in. So the Cavaliers shouldn't be taking Philadelphia lightly, nor should they be holding anything back.

Philadelphia has failed to cover in its last six home games. The 76ers easily are the worst team in the NBA. Two of their starters - Tony Wroten and Robert Covington - are out and their bench is the weakest in the league.

76ers coach Brett Brown is very concerned about his team's lack of offense and 36 percent shooting from the floor along with 43 turnovers. Brown admits that rebuilding and player development are the priorities for the 76ers - not going all out for victories.

Kevin Love has erased some concerns about his poor preseason. He's looked better than expected during the early going. James will make sure Love and the rest of the Cavaliers are involved.

As long as the Cavaliers take this game semi-serious - which I believe they will - they shouldn't have a problem covering this number.

Dave Cokin

Chicago -125

The Los Angeles Kings have put that surprising 0-3 start in the rear view mirror in dominating fashion. The Kings head into Chicago sporting a seven-game winning streak. As for the Blackhawks, they’ve lost two straight, so this becomes a big game for the reigning Stanley Cup champs, as they certainly don’t want that streak to continue.

It’s never easy to buck an entry that’s red hot. But there are a couple of things that appeal to me tonight as far as the home team goes, and I’ll bank on those elements to try and get a win.

First off, Chicago doesn’t lose three straight very often. Aside from four straight losses in what were virtually meaningless games at the end of the regular season prior to last year’s playoffs, the Blackhawks were about as money in the bank as it gets when playing off two straight losses. That situation has arisen once so far this campaign, and sure enough, Chicago came through again with a win.

Then there’s Jonathan Quick. The Kings goalie is on a big roll to be sure. But this building has been pretty much a house of horrors for Quick and the Kings. Quick has managed just seven wins in 22 starts against the Blackhawks. Obviously, part of that poor ledger is because Chicago has consistently been one of the best teams in the NHL. But one can’t help but wonder if the specter of playing the Blackhawks here is in Quick’s head, as he just hasn’t generally been at his sharpest when trying to stop the Hawks.

The price is not ideal, as I’m not wild about having to lay anything when facing a team that’s on a 7-0 tear. But returning home from a tough little trip and still smarting after letting one get away on Saturday at Minnesota, I suspect the Blackhawks are going to be ultra-focused tonight, and I’ll swing with the Chicago side to emerge victorious this evening.
