Looks like we weren't quite on the ball in terms of overall game results, but at least our Player Prop tip came in, Garland delivered 8 assists, and netted us a a bit of our losses back.

Darius Garland scores 24 points for NBA-leading Cavaliers in 115-105 victory over Wizards

By BRIAN DULIK AP Sports Writer The Associated Press CLEVELAND

CLEVELAND (AP) — Darius Garland scored 24 points and Jarrett Allen had 21 points and 11 rebounds as the NBA-leading Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Washington 115-105 on Friday night, sending the Wizards to their 18th loss in 19 games.

Donovan Mitchell scored 20 points and Garland added eight assists for Cleveland, which is 22-4 and holds a 1 1/2-game lead over Boston for the top record in the league. The Cavaliers, who lead the NBA in field-goal percentage, shot a season-low 39.6%.

Caris LeVert had 14 points and six assists and Isaac Okoro scored 13 points. Cleveland went 15 of 51 on 3-pointers.

Bilal Coulibaly tied his career high with 27 points and Jordan Poole scored 17 for the Wizards. Justin Champagnie had 16 points and eight rebounds as Washington fell to a league-worst 3-20.

Takeaways

Wizards: Alex Sarr, the No. 2 overall draft pick, returned after missing two games with a sore lower back and made his first five shots, including a 3-pointer. The 7-footer from France finished with 14 points and seven rebounds in 27 minutes.

Cavaliers: Power forward Evan Mobley, who is averaging 18.3 points and 9.1 rebounds, sprained his left ankle in the previous game at Miami and did not play. Coach Kenny Atkinson said he isn’t concerned the injury will be “a long-term thing.”

Key moment

LeVert scored four points and absorbed a flagrant foul from Poole during a 7-0 Cavaliers run that bridged the third and fourth quarters, finally giving them breathing room with an 89-80 lead.

Key stats

Cleveland improved to 14-1 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse this season, the second-best home mark in the NBA behind unbeaten Orlando. The Cavaliers also beat Washington for the 11th straight time, their longest streak in the 55-year series.

This is how we previewed the game...

Still the team to beat, Cleveland might just be the shortest price we have seen this season at just 1.06 and a line of -17.5. If you think Washington would win this game once every eight (or less) runnings, you should have a very small bet on very big odds for them to win outright, at huge win odds of 10.00.

Lets see what the big 6 tipping sites are saying about this one sided (seemingly) game.

Dimers - 10,000 simulations tell them the game is likely to finish 123-108 in favour of Boston, so they are tipping Wizards +17.
Clutch Points - Cleveland -16.5 is the recommendation
Pickswise - tbc
Sportskeeda - Cavs to win, Cavs to cover the spread, Over 232.5 points
Betting Odds - Wizards +17 is the tip
Sportsline - projecting a 122-99 win for the Cavs, and a moderate bet on Cavs -17, together with a moderate bet on the Under 232 market.

We think the Cavs will score a bundle in this game, and are therefore going for Line bet and an Over bet - two tips.

Our hot streak came crashing to an end in this game, both game tips lost. Cavs were 8 points away from covering the spread and the game total fell short of the market...largely due to those missing 8 points from the Cavs!
