Only three points were scored over the final 110 seconds of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 21-point win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night. But that was enough for the over to hit in another Cavs’ game.
It was the 37th over in 57 Cavs’ games this season. At 37-19-1, they’ve been the best over team in the NBA by percentage (.661) and ROI (25.6%). If, for example, you bet $100 on the over in each game this season, you’d be up nearly $1,500.
Not only is it a dramatic shift from past Cavs’ seasons — cumulative ROI of -12.5% the last four seasons and -6.2% the last 20 seasons — the over is hitting at a historic rate for any team.
Only once in the last 10 seasons has a team posted an ROI of at least 20% (2020-21 Indiana Pacers). The Cavs’ current ROI of 25.6% would be the best since the 2013-14 Detroit Pistons finished at 27.4%.
