Golden State Warriors at Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
Very simply we are in a position here to get Cleveland at a remarkable price. We will take that position every time considering we are getting the defending NBA Champions at home at a reduced price tag. Why? Because very simply the Warriors are on the road at Cleveland where the Cavs have been dominant. King James and his merry men need no introduction but given the fact the Cavs used their home court advantage as an opportunity to get back in to this series last year when all the chips were down, Cleveland at a reduced price would have been a good play. We get them at a remarkable wage. We will go ahead and fade the public and many enamored perspectives on the Warriors featuring the likes of Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and Draymond Green and take back the defending champs who have lost just twice at home with enhanced points.
Free Pick:
Take Cleveland +3.5
