Cavaliers at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 113, Thunder 109

Moneyline

PASS.

There are better odds to play the Cavs spread than on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET CAVALIERS -1.5 (-115).

Cleveland has played better on the road this season than it has at home. It is 2-1 on the road, and having already played, the Thunder will be able to match it better. Mitchell is poised for another big game, and Dort is battling an injury, leading towards a Cavs cover.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 227.5 (-105).

The Cavs' offense typically goes through Mitchell, who is their leading scorer, but as a result, they are not able to push the ball as effectively, leading to lower scores. Cleveland has not scored more than 116 points this season. Expect a matchup similar to the last meeting between these teams, with the bigs battling for rebounds and slowing the game down.
