- Spread: +1.5
- BetMGM Moneyline: (+105)
- Over/Under: 229.5
Donovan Mitchell’s arrival has come as a natural fit for a Cleveland team that left a pleasant impression last season and that is aiming for interesting things in this edition.
Prior to their two losses vs the Clippers and vs the Kings, the Cavaliers strung together an eight-game winning streak, in which they scored at least 110 points in seven of them and three times held their opponents under a hundred.
However, in their last two losses, the defense has not performed as expected and has allowed 119 points to a Clippers team that is last in the league in scoring per game average (104.7)
Their offense is one of the best in the championship, ranking second in field goal percentage (48.3 %) and second in three-point percentage (40.1 %). This is thanks to the contribution of Mitchell, who averages 31.9 points per game, the third-best figure in the circuit for a player.
Betting on the Golden State Warriors
- Regular season record: 4-7
- Spread: -1.5
- BetMGM Moneyline: (-125)
- Over/Under: 229.5
There was little Stephen Curry and his 32.6 points per game could do to help his team get off to a good start in defending last season’s title. Golden State has lost all six of its away games, but the good news is that it faces the Cavaliers at home, a condition in which the Warriors have won their four games this year.
The Warriors’ problems are related to the defensive end, where they are second in points allowed per game (120.6), second only to the Spurs’ 120.9 points allowed. Apart from that, we also have to consider the fact that their opponents are shooting 47 % from the field (the eleventh highest figure in the circuit).
So defeating the Cavaliers, one of the best offenses of the recent championship, will be far from easy, even though Golden State also knows how to attack. On Monday against Sacramento, Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins topped 25 points both, and, overall, their 117.3 points per game is the fourth best record in the NBA.
JefeBet Prediction
The fact that the casualty has occurred in the last four meetings between the two teams may weigh little on Friday. These two offenses are among the best in the current championship, and we already talked about the Warriors’ defense being the second-highest scoring defense per game, while the Cavaliers are not having a good time during their tour of the West.
In addition, in Cleveland’s last seven games against teams with a positive home record, the Over has come in six of them, while in six of Golden State’s last seven duels with three or more days’ rest, the Over has come on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Over (CLE 120 – GS 125).
