NBA Betting Trends - Nets at Cavaliers Game 5
By Eric Williams
The Cavaliers (48-40-2 ATS) have a chance to close this series out tonight against the lethargic Nets (47-43-2 ATS). After man-handling New Jersey in the first two games of the series, the Nets fought back valiantly and took game three at home.
The Nets couldn’t win game four as their top three players all had dismal games and now Cleveland has an opportunity to close the series out and lay in wait for the winner of the Pistons-Bulls series.
Here is a look at tonight’s trends, followed by free NBA pick:

Before surprisingly dismantling the Toronto Raptors in the first round, New Jersey has reverted back to the form they’ve shown nearly all season long – uninspired and uninterested.
NBA Free Picks: Take Cleveland to send Vince Carter, Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson packing tonight. This point spread should be a breeze for the Cavaliers to cover.
