Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
The Golden State Warriors are still capable of getting up for big games, and they’ve been in some dogfights recently, which should only add to their confidence. The problem is the Cavs are 27-4 SU and 22-9 ATS on the season. It’s just tough to step in front of the Cavaliers as long as the winning and covering at this rate continues. The Warriors have also lost 7 of their last 10 games. The line is reasonable. Give me the Cavs in a statement road victory.
