A new chapter will be written in the ever-growing rivalry between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors in Oakland tonight. The Warriors will be looking to avenge a tight 109-108 Christmas Day loss to the wine and gold, and sportsbooks have tabbed them as 7.5-point favorites with a total of 225.5.
- The Warriors are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as home favorites.
- The total has gone UNDER in five of the Warriors' last seven games with a closing total of 224.5 or more.
- The total has gone OVER in 10 of the Cavaliers' last 14 games on the road.
Cleveland overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit in that game to escape with the win in the first regular season meeting between the clubs. Dating back to the 2016 NBA Finals, the Cavs have now won and covered the spread in four straight games against the Dubs.
If the Warriors are going to emerge triumphant in the Bay Area tonight, they’ll need their best player to get going. Stephen Curry struggled to 40.3 percent from the floor in the Finals last spring and was limited to 15 points on 4-of-11 shooting on Christmas Day. Kevin Durant enjoyed his first taste of the rivalry, as the superstar collected 36 points and 15 rebounds on December 25.
The Warriors and Cavaliers have a penchant for going UNDER at Oracle Arena. In the past five between the two foes in California, the UNDER is 4-1.
