Golden State Warriors at Cleveland Cavaliers Overview

Golden State Warriors

The Warriors saw a two-game losing streak come to an end on Monday when they defeated the Atlanta Hawks 128-111 in the ATL, covering successfully as a 10.5-point favorite. The Warriors have endured their fair share of injuries this year, including center DeMarcus Cousins and core forward Draymond Green. However, the W’s are delighted to welcome back a vital component of their squad point guard Steph Curry who returned to action on Saturday in Detroit.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Compared to last year, the Cavaliers will be a much different team without perhaps the greatest ever to play the game wearing a Cavs jersey along with a new coaching regime. Cleveland also ended a losing streak that extended to four games with style on Monday when they defeated Brooklyn on the road 99-97 as a six-point underdog.

Reasons To Avoid Golden State

As a whole (barring a few exceptions), you can expect to pay a premium to back the two-time defending champions anytime you usually wish to take action on them. Given the match-up here concerning contrasting qualities along with Golden State’s dominance in this rivalry, that propensity is that much greater. Be that as it may, 83% of the consensus like Golden State laying the points which in itself raises a red flag because leans that are normally this heavy are rare and usually signify an overreaction. As a result, heading the other way will likely bode tremendous value as there is likely inflated points to scoff down on the underdog in this contest.

Reasons To Back Cleveland

This is Cleveland’s first game against the Warriors since their clash in last year’s Finals. As a whole, the Warriors have been a perpetual thorn in The Land’s side as they went 3-1 in the four consecutive Finals series the two met, separating the two organizations to render Golden State a dynasty and Cleveland as a mediocre outfit that LeBron James seemingly elevated to unprecedented levels. The Cavs cannot destroy that narrative with one win here, but they can make a statement against that if they pull the upset.

Warriors at Cavaliers Prediction 12/05/2018

Typically, The Land is known for having a healthy home court advantage at “The Q.” This season has been difficult for Cleveland, but given the essence of this contest, you can rest assured that the Quicken Loans Arena will be rocking as if this were a playoff game. With that being said, Golden State is a menial 5-7 SU on the road this season which means the champs can find themselves in a dogfight with an old foe. Grab the points.
