The Cavaliers have won just twice on the road this season, as Cleveland begins a West Coast trip that starts in Utah tonight. Luol Deng is expected to make his Cavaliers' debut after getting acquired from the Bulls for Andrew Bynum. The Jazz are 1-2-1 ATS this season as a home favorite, while coming off an upset of the Thunder as a home dog on Tuesday. The Cavs have allowed 93 points or less in five straight games, as I'll take the points with Cleveland tonight to cash at Utah.

The Suns are playing with double-revenge tonight at Memphis, as the Grizzlies have covered four straight games, all in the underdog role. Now, Memphis is a favorite, but the Grizzlies have lost five of their last seven games at FedEx Forum. Phoenix is still playing without Eric Bledsoe, who will be out of the lineup for a while with a knee injury, but the Suns did beat the Wolves on Wednesday, 104-103 as a road dog. I'll take the points with Phoenix to cash at Memphis.
Matchup: Orlando at Sacramento
Time: 10:05 PM EDT (Fri)

The Kings have been a horrible favorite this season, posting an 0-9 ATS mark, including home losses of at least nine points to the Jazz, Bobcats, and 76ers. Sacramento beat Portland a few nights ago as an underdog, while hosting an Orlando squad that the Kings beat in central Florida last month as a short underdog. The Magic has lost each of the first two games of this road trip to the Clippers and Blazers, while getting outscored by 20 points in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's loss at Portland. It's hard to really support Orlando, but this play is more of a fade of Sacramento in the favorite role.

The Pelicans are spiraling out of control, losing nine of their last 13 games, while failing to cover in each of their last five games. New Orleans hosts Dallas tonight, as these two teams play the front end of a home-and-home set which concludes in Dallas tomorrow. The Pelicans have lost six of nine games on the front end of a back-to-back this season, while the Mavericks already won at New Orleans last month, 100-97. I'll back the Mavericks here to beat the Pelicans.
