The Cavaliers have been playoff disappointments in recent years, failing to capitalize on their talented roster with any kind of deep playoff run.

Still, the Cavs have won a playoff series every year since 2024, which is more than most teams can say. A modest approach to the Cavaliers’ odds market has been fairly successful.
