The Cavaliers are (6-4) in their last ten games whereas the Clippers are also (6-4).  These teams are very evenly matched in nearly every statistical category.  The Cavaliers are (4-1) in their last five games against the Clippers.  I like the Clippers to win a close one at home on Sunday afternoon.
