Today's best bet: Los Angeles Clippers (-5½) over CLEVELAND CAVALIERS

The Cleveland Cavaliers got belted by the Miami Heat on Tuesday night and have to return home on a back-to-back to face the improved Clippers. Los Angeles will be without Chauncey Billups, but the Cavs could be without Daniel Gibson and Anthony Parker again. The Clippers have more talent and more depth. They have won six of their past seven games and will add to that total tonight.
