Bookmakers experts consider Cleveland to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, New Orleans will have very little chance of success. And that true. The teams' games are always close and with a lot of fighting. The team from Ohio has won the last four out of five head-to-head meetings. Kenny Atkinson charges will definitely try to build on their success. The Cavaliers will have to achieve a confident victory.
Our prediction is a Cleveland victory with a handicap of (-6.5) points, including overtime, at 1.78

The Cavaliers did not show very high efficiency last season. The result was always at the forefront of game tactics. The average indicator is 112.1 points per game.

Mitchell played 55 games in the regular season and averaged 26.6 points per game. The 26-year-old guard has definitely not lost his basic skills. Donovan will be able to cause a lot of trouble for the opposing defense.
