Prediction published on 12/29/25, 4:05 PM  by Lou Aguila in NBA Picks

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs will play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday at Frost Bank Center.

Reeling from a 114-127 loss to the Utah Jazz, the Spurs are -142 favorites against the Cavs, who have lost their last two games.

Current Form:

The Spurs’ five-game winning run came to an end with a 114-127 loss to the Utah Jazz on December 27. Victor Wembanyama made an emphatic return to the starting lineup, recording 32 points, 7 rebounds and 5 blocks. Keldon Johnson dropped 27 points off the bench and Stephon Castle added 20 points. However, the Spurs direly missed the playmaking and clutch plays of De’Aaron Fox, who sat out with an adductor injury.

The Cavaliers dropped to 17-16 after falling to the Houston Rockets, 100-117, on December 27. With big men Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley sidelined due to injuries, Jaylon Tayson stepped up as he recorded 23 points and 15 rebounds in 30 minutes. However, the Cavs only gained 28 combined points from their starting backcourt as both Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland struggled to make an impact on the offensive end.
