Golden State Warriors

Leading up to the home game against Phoenix, Golden State had a stretch of 12 losses in 15 previous games. It's clear that Steve Kerr's team has less and less room for misfires, and the Warriors didn't let it happen against the Suns. The game was very low-scoring, the two teams scored only 214 points, and the Californians won 109:105. Jonathan Kuminga was the most productive for the Warriors with 34 points, Steph Curry had 22 points, Trace Jackson-Davis had 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Overall, Golden State has a shaky tournament standing so far. The last dynasty team with a 16-15 record is only ninth in the Western Conference. The gap from the top-6, however, is still not great - only 2.0 wins.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers, unlike Golden State, have found their game since the start of the season, have not lost a game so far and are in first place in the Eastern Conference. The team of Steve Kerr's assistant Kenny Atkinson has suffered only four defeats in 31 games since the start of the championship. It should also be noted that Cleveland, averaging 122.7 points per game, is second in the offensive efficiency rankings.

The Cavaliers played their last game on the road against Denver and won their seventh straight. The game was one of the most exciting of the season and ended in a 149:135 victory for Cleveland. Donovan Mitchell was the most productive for the Cavs, scoring 33 points. Jarrett Allen had a double-double - 22 points and 10 rebounds.

Expert Betting Tips

Golden State has a good defense, ninth in the league with 110.5 points per game, but Cleveland's offense in the current championship has caused insurmountable difficulties for more balanced teams. We bet, accordingly, in the upcoming match on the total more points scored, as well as the victory of the guests. The Cavaliers this season are simply stronger than the Warriors.
