Cleveland Cavaliers - Golden State Warriors (-9,5) The roadside ride continues in the eastern periphery for the Warriors, where the dawns will return to the stadium in which they won last year's championship to face the team with which they have been confronted for 4 consecutive years in the finals. Of course, there is no relationship between the two teams this evening, compared to what has been going on over the last few years, as Cavs are now going for different reasons with everyone without Lebron, Kyrie, Love, coach T.Lue and many others, while holding one of the worst records this year.
The Warriors, having largely overtaken any instability they have shown lately, seem to have found pace and come from 4 wins at their most recent 6 games. At the same time, Curry's return gives them a tremendous boost in attack and releases Durant and Thompson more. The three of them also scored 85 points against the Hawks. Interesting evidence is that the warriors are the top team this year as part of the assists, as they distribute 27,8 final passes per game, while their attack is consistently one of the best with 116,4 points on average.
The Cavaliers, in turn, beat the Nets and ended a 4-game losing streak, but their record in the last 10 is very bad with 7 unsuccessful results. Also, the "knights" have the worst attack in the league with 102,6 points per game.
To sum up, although the high handicaps always carry risks, I decided to bet on the double with 9,5 points, as I think the home team will have a hard time tracking the pace and scoring the champions and at some stage of the match they will be fatally back in the score, without being able to return.
