The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night at Rocket Mortgage Field House with tipoff set for 7:00 PM ET. The Cavaliers will look to close a perfect four-game homestand having won their previous three games by double digits, including Monday’s 114-102 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Cleveland has won seven of its first eight home games, the team’s best start in its own building since the 2016-17 season, when the Cavs opened 9-1. The Blazers are looking to even their four-game trip at 1-1. Portland, which has dropped three straight and four of its past five games, lost in the opener of its trip Monday 119-111 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Portland will again be without star point guard Damian Lillard (calf strain). Caris LeVert and Kevin Love have been ruled out for Cleveland.

Cavaliers vs. Trail Blazers Best Bets
Trail Blazers +7.5 (-110 DraftKings)
While Cleveland has played very well of late, Portland is a very talented team, even without Lillard. Rookie Shaedon Sharpe has stepped up in his absence and has solid “per 40 minutes” averages this year of 17.2 points and 4.9 rebounds. The combination of Anfernee Simons and Jerami Grant gives the Blazers an excellent inside/out combination and each is averaging at least 20 points per game on the season thus far.
The Blazers have covered five games in a row on the road and are 8-1 ATS on the road this season. Cleveland has also struggled against teams from the Western Conference losing five in a row and going 1-4 ATS.
