Peter's Pick

The Warriors are keeping an eye on Klay Thompson who is questionable here, while the Cavaliers have listed Isaac Okoro as questionable due to left knee soreness. The Cavaliers have struggled to get going with all the injuries they've had to deal with, but they are getting some players back, so you expect them to bounce back sooner rather than later. The Warriors are clearly the team in better form, but they could be without a key player in Thompson. This is a tough one to pick as the Cavaliers will be up for this challenge, but the Warriors as underdogs is just too tempting to pass up the way they've been playing.
