The Cavaliers (27-9 SU, 15-20-1 ATS) have won nine of their 10 games with point guard Kyrie Irving back in the lineup. However, they're still having trouble shaking off the chalk at 5-5 ATS. The Cavs dropped the cash in three of their last four games, and they needed overtime to beat the Dallas Mavericks (+6 at home) 110-107 on Tuesday.
Chalk hasn't been nearly as troublesome for the Spurs (34-6 SU, 28-12 ATS). They're easily the most profitable team in the NBA this year, hiding in the long shadow cast by the 36-2 Golden State Warriors. San Antonio has won nine straight games at 7-2 ATS, including Tuesday's 109-99 victory over the Detroit Pistons (+7 at home), where ageless point guard Tony Parker scored a season-high 31 points. Going into Tuesday's action, Basketball-Reference had the Spurs valued 7.3 points higher than the Cavs using the Simple Rating System.
