| NBA | (533) Utah Jazz at (534) Cleveland Cavaliers: Spread | 7:10pm EST - Jan 12/2026 |
The PLAY: Cleveland Cavaliers -13.0 (-110)
CLEVELAND. The Cavaliers got back on track last game. Their 12-point win over Minnesota salvaged a split of the home-and-home series with the T-Wolves. Order restored, healthier than they've been and stepping down in class to face a poor Utah team, the Cavs should win comfortably. They've beaten Utah by 16, 11 and 29 points the past three meetings, an average of nearly 19. The Jazz lost by 55 points to Charlotte on Sunday. They're 1-6 their last seven, 0-4 on the road. Do they really even want to win? It won't matter tonight. Facing Mitchell's former team, the Cavs should win by 20+.
