Preview:
I like the look of Cleveland here as substantial 7-point home underdogs. This aligns strongly with the contrarian angle, with 80% of punters backing OKC early.
Now 19-15 on the season, I think OKC have become somewhat overrated in the current market. They’ve had their share of struggles on the road, going just 7-9 away thus far.
Cleveland has shown some better form of late, going .500 over their last 10. They enter this contest relatively healthy, with Larry Nance their only rotation player expected to miss.
This has the makings of a decent matchup for the Cavs, particularly on the interior. I can see OKC struggling to guard Love from the perimeter, while Thompson is certainly capable of matching up with Adams.
Overall, this is just too many points for OKC to be laying on the road. Cleveland has played hard this season and I’d expect them to keep it within this exorbitant number.
Odds:
Tip: Oklahoma City Thunder at $1.36
