(NBA) Cavaliers (CLE) vs. Warriors (GSW),
Point Spread: 4.50 | -105.00 Warriors (GSW) (Home)
Result: Loss
The Cavaliers are coming into this game with a 27-4 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 6 straight games and they are coming off of a 149-135 win on the road against the Nuggets in their last game, but this will be a tougher game for them coming back from that altitude. The Cavaliers have been great on the road this season at 10-3, but 3 of their 4 total losses this season have come on the road so it is where they are most susceptible to losing. They are going up against a Warriors team that is 16-15 this season and they have been awful in their recent games. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games, but they are coming off of a 109-105 win at home against the Suns in their last game and that win is going to give them some confidence here after snapping their losing streak. Their defense has been much better in their last 2 games as they have held both of their opponents to 102 points or less, and the Warriors have been slightly better at home this season as well. They have been playing better there as they won their last game at home and lost a close game there just prior to that win, losing by 2 points to the Lakers on Christmas Day. The Warriors are also more healthy now and there is going to be more urgency for them as they are currently sitting in 9th place in the Western Conference so they are going to get up for this game against the best team in the league to not only knock them down a peg, but also give themselves a spark to get on a run. The Warriors will cover the spread in this game.
