Prediction
As we assess the factors for this matchup, the Cavaliers are favored with a -9.5 points spread. However, if Jarrett Allen is unavailable, the dynamics of the game may shift. Allen has been a key contributor, especially in rebounding and defense.
The Spurs, despite their challenging season, might find opportunities to cover the spread, capitalizing on the potential gap left by Allen's absence. Cleveland's ability to adapt to this situation and the Spurs' determination to defy the odds will be crucial in shaping the game.
Considering these factors, our prediction leans towards the San Antonio Spurs covering the +9.5 points spread, especially if Jarrett Allen is ruled out. The Spurs may use this opportunity to showcase resilience and create a closer game than the spread suggests.
