<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Cleveland:</strong></p>



<ul><li>14-3 ATS in their last 17 games against teams with a winning record.</li><li>11-4 ATS in their last 15 games on the road.</li></ul>



<p><strong>Golden State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in their last five games</li></ul>



<p><strong>The Winner Prediction</strong></p>



<p>Golden State enters this contest as a heavy favorite at 9.0 points, and that is not surprising considering how they have dominated Cleveland of late. However, if both Curry and Green are out for this contest, there is no way this team is covering that nine-point spread.</p>



<p>The Warriors are 1-4 ATS in their last five games and the fact that they have gone under 100 points in each of the last two games should bode well for the Cavaliers. After all, Cleveland is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, and this will likely be a lower scoring affair. Nine points is a lot to cover in a game like this.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Cleveland Cavaliers at +9.0.</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>You have the top two defensive teams in the NBA facing one another. Combined these teams are allowing about 204 points per game, and they are in the middle of the pack in terms of points scored per contest. Because of the tenacious way that these teams play defense, it should be expected that this is going to be a lower scoring affair.</p>



<p>Even if Curry is back, the fact that he was out with a quad injury likely means that his effectiveness is going to be diminished slightly. The same is true for Green, which will mean less rebound opportunities for Golden State. The total for this game is going to be under 210.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 217.5 at -110</strong></p>
