The Edge
Cleveland's elite road ATS record, underdog covering ability, and Anunoby's absence make +7.5 a credible lean, but New York's home dominance and recent ATS heat cap this at a lean rather than a strong pick.
Key Factors
Cleveland road ATS record is elite at 26-15 (.634), well above the .550 threshold for meaningful road team respect
OG Anunoby (F) is OUT for New York, a star-level absence worth a mental 3-5 pt line adjustment on a spread already at -7.5
Cleveland's average margin of victory is +9.5 vs New York's +4.1 — Cavaliers win bigger when they win
Cleveland ATS as underdog on the road: 6-3 (.667), showing they cover well when getting points
