Stephen Nover's NBA Saturday Top Ticket
(NBA) Cleveland vs. Utah, 12/30/2017 3:00 PM, Score: 101 - 104
Point Spread: -3.50 | -105.00 Cleveland (Away)
Result: Loss
The Cavaliers are in stop-the-pain mode off consecutive road losses to the Warriors and then Kings.

Cleveland last played on Wednesday and won't play again until Tuesday so this spots sets up well for the Cavaliers.

The Jazz have no defensive stoppers to face LeBron James. Utah remains without Rudy Gobbert, their top inside scoring threat and one of the best rim protectors in the NBA.

Utah has lost three in a row, losing by an average of 21 points a game during this span. The Jazz aren't close to being in the Cavaliers' class without Gobert.
