Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors Predictions & Picks

Cleveland are tipped to win tonight’s matchup by double digits.

The Cavaliers’ recent spread record is not great, but they are getting healthier and they can take advantage of a short-handed Warriors team playing on zero day’s rest without a bunch of key pieces.

  • Cleveland Cavaliers are 6-2 in their last 8 games
  • Cleveland Cavaliers are 6-2 in their previous 8 road games
  • Golden State Warriors are 2-5-0 ATS in their last 7 games as a betting underdog
  • The Under cashed in the previous meeting between the two teams

Head To Head

  • Golden State Warriors lead the all-time series 76-71
  • Golden State Warriors won 99-94 when the two teams last met on December 6

Cleveland Cavaliers Form

Cleveland head to the ‘Bay Area’ on the back of a defeat, but in solid form with six wins in their previous eight games.
