Game Preview

The Cavaliers are the No.1 seed in the East and the NBA. The Ohio franchise rides a six-game winning streak and looks pretty confident. They have the second-best offense in the NBA, with 122.7 points scored per game. The Cavs have the highest shooting percentage in the NBA – 50.6%.

In their last appearance we saw them dismantle Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets in Denver, 149-135, making a statement and also sending a message to the entire league about their intentions.

The Warriors still can’t find their rhythm. After three losses in a row, Steve Kerr and his crew stopped the negative streak with a win over the Suns in Arizona, 109-105.

Jonathan Kuminga was the hero of the event, scoring a career-high 34 points and making some clutch shots in the most important moments of the game.

Cavaliers vs. Warriors Head to Head

The Cavs smashed the Warriors in Ohio in the first matchup this year, 136-117. They had a 41-point lead at halftime but removed the foot off the gas in the second half.

Cavaliers vs. Warriors Prediction

Cleveland is a machine on the offensive end, and you can’t stop or slow them down no matter what you do. The Warriors have to accept their style of play and try to outscore the rivals, which is why we bet on over 230.5 points for this event.
