1.87Tip and bets
Cleveland approaches the game with Golden State as a clear favorite. According to bookmakers, the home team will have very little chance of success. In general, this is true. The San Francisco club has been playing very unconvincingly this season. The Cavaliers have finally established connections within the team and are showing excellent results. But Kerr team will definitely give a real fight to the formidable opponent and will do everything possible to achieve victory with the support of their fans.
Our prediction is a Golden State victory with a handicap of (+5.5) points including overtime at 1.76
Bet on total
Golden State and Cleveland have not shown very high performance in their personal meetings. The average indicator for the last ten games is 216 points. Everything is going to the fact that this time both teams will not be able to please fans with an attacking and spectacular game.
Our prediction is under 228.5 points including overtime at 2.05
First quarter bet
Cleveland has won the first quarter in eight of its last ten games. The Cavaliers will no doubt do everything possible to achieve another victory after a successful trip to Colorado. The team from the Buckeye State will show from the first minutes that they are not going to upset their fans and will confidently take the lead in the score.
Our prediction is a Cleveland win in the first quarter at 1.76
