Pertaining to other head-to-head meetings, in the past three matchups, the Cavs are 2-1 versus the Spurs.

The Spurs have not defeated them since Mar. 19, 2021, when they won 116-110 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

For the top news story, after the Cavaliers traded for Pacers’ guard Caris LeVert, head coach J.B. Bickerstaff became unsure of his starting lineup. At the moment, Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, Cedi Osman, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen are the starters. When asked how he felt about joining the Cavs, LeVert said, “It’s an amazing opportunity.”

A source said as of early this evening #Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff was still deciding whether Caris LeVert would start or come off the bench. That doesn't matter. LeVert is here, where he feels he belongs after a whirlwind 14 months & ready to chase a titlehttps://t.co/rcNc4RGutS

Spurs vs Cavaliers Prediction | NBA Picks

Additionally, so far during this 2021-22 NBA regular season, San Antonio is 11-8 as a favorite, 9-26 as an underdog and 14-11 ATS away, while Cleveland is 20-6 as a favorite, 13-15 as an underdog and 17-9 ATS at home. The Spurs defeated the Rockets at home, ending their three-game skid. But, it is evident that this particular Western Conference team is inconsistent from game to game. Bettors will likely pick against an unpredictable team. Plus, the Cavs are on a six-game home winning streak.

Moreover, heading into Wednesday night’s contest, Cleveland is a seven-point favorite. For one notable observation, the Cavs are the superior team at home than the Spurs are on the road. In the minds of undecided risk-takers, the Cavaliers are in better shape. So, think about taking the Cavs to win, they will cover the spread and the total will go over 219.
