record (2025)
-2.2
vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Cleveland sits at 14th with a 2.335 neutral-field rating, down from a 2.959 prior-season mark, and that soft -0.924 strength of schedule makes the 2-1 record look better than the underlying number. The market is already ahead of the model at -2.24 versus the rating, so there's no value buying the Cavs at current prices. This is a slight sell until the rating stabilizes.
