Betting on the Golden State Warriors
- Season record: 22-22
The Golden State Warriors have gradually bounced back in this regular season, especially away from home, a condition in which they have a terrible record of 5 wins and 17 losses. However, in this series of games they have played on the road, they have obtained two good victories.
The idea is to play in a similar way against an unfavorable opponent like Cleveland; however, they won’t be physically fit, as they’ll have played the Boston Celtics the night before.
The main weapon they will look to exploit this Friday against a solid defensive opponent is their offense, a department in which they average 117.5 points per night—the fourth-best team in the league in this area.
Betting on Cleveland Cavaliers
- Season record: 26-18.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have alternated between wins and losses in their 4 most recent games, coming into this home game after falling just short against a strong Memphis Grizzlies squad 114-115.
Surely if Donovan Mitchell had been present they would have achieved something more, but he missed that game due to physical discomfort. Now, he will be doubtful until the very last minute for this game against Golden State.
This team continues to be the best defensively, maintaining an average of 107.1 points allowed per night. If Spida is not present, they will have to be able to rely on this aspect in order to put up a fight against the opponent’s heavy artillery.
JefeBet Prediction
The Warriors own a negative 4-5 record when playing a game without resting the night before, numbers that are likely to increase when facing Cleveland, which has lost only four of 23 home games.
While Donovan may miss this matchup due to injury, they have shown they can hold their own against great opponents, as they nearly took the win from the second best team in the Western Conference, Memphis.
In this way, the home side is expected to take advantage of the physical wear and tear of the visiting team to continue to build on its record at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers Spread.
