Cavs vs. Warriors Picks & Prediction

Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Cleveland Cavaliers -10

The spot really favors the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.  They had yesterday off and will be playing just their 3rd game in 6 days.  They are as healthy as they have been in a long time with nine of their top 10 scorers available.  That includes Allen, Merrill and Strus, who have all missed time recently.

The Golden State Warriors will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back after a 127-113 home loss to the Spurs last night.  They will also be playing their 11th game in 19 days.  They are one of the most injury-ravaged teams in the NBA to boot.

The Warriors are 11-21 SU & 11-21 ATS in their last 32 games overall, which basically coincided with losing Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler.  They are without several other key players as well, and they are content with being the 10th seed in the West at this point and having to work their way back from the play-in.  

The Warriors are unlikely to catch the Blazers and Clippers ahead of them and they know it.  I think they will just be playing out the string the rest of the way with the priority being getting as healthy as possible for the play-in with Curry expected to return soon.  Bet the Cavaliers Thursday.

David's Free Pick

We really like the underdog in this matchup. The Cavaliers are 9-17 ATS as underdogs on the road, and the wounded Warriors saw Seth Curry back in action with 12 points in 10 minutes off the bench in an ATS cover loss to the Spurs last time out.  While it's the "wrong" Curry, who among many others, is still missing, the Warriors are starting to figure out how to cope. 

 This is a FREE PLAY on the WARRIROS. 

Turbo version of when the pointspread is counterintuitive to the points per game margin, go with what the oddsmakers are telling us as at 1027-724-28. True it is slumping but in fact does slightly better late in the season. My outlaw line keeps this below a premium, but still a strong bet.

A true rarity from the Grandmaster: a 5⭐️ Wise Guy release in the NBA. This is the strongest play on the board in over a month across all sports—reserved for only the most elite edges where every major indicator aligns.
