Through 3 Quarters
The Washington Wizards typically have all the answers at home, but the Cleveland Cavaliers are posing a tough problem. It's still tight after three quarters, with the Cavaliers leading 74-68. They have been riding high on the performance of point guard Ricky Rubio, who has 14 points in addition to four boards.
Both Cleveland and the Wizards padded the win column in their previous outings. After we'll see if Cleveland has enough left in the tank to claim the victory or if Washington will come out on top yet again.

What to Know
After a three-game homestand, the Washington Wizards will be on the road. After a few days' rest for both teams, they and the Cleveland Cavaliers will meet up at 7 p.m. ET Nov. 10 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
Washington was able to grind out a solid victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday, winning 101-94. It was another big night for the Wizards' shooting guard Bradley Beal, who had 30 points and eight assists in addition to five boards.
Meanwhile, Cleveland strolled past the New York Knicks with points to spare on Sunday, taking the contest 126-109. Cleveland's point guard Ricky Rubio looked sharp as he shot 8-for-9 from downtown and finished with a double-double on 37 points and ten dimes.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Washington is expected to win a tight contest Wednesday. Those interested in the spread don't face an easy decision since they are 7-3 ATS and Cleveland 8-3.
The Wizards didn't have too much trouble with the Cavaliers at home when the two teams previously met in May as they won 120-105. The rematch might be a little tougher for Washington since the squad won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
