Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Under 229 – 1.525.
In 2 of the last 3 road games, the team from Texas has not lost by more than 14 points. Despite the fact that the Spurs look bad, we think that Popovich’s side will offer some resistance to the favourite.
We expect the Cavs to play solid defence again. In 4 of the last 5 home games, the team from Ohio has not allowed their opponents to score more than 100 points. It is unlikely that crisis-ridden San Antonio will do any better. It’s unlikely that the visitors will be able to penetrate the home team’s defence.
The Cavs’ leader Donovan Mitchell was the best player in the game against the Chicago Bulls. He had a double-double of 29 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. His team won with a score of 97:89.
This is the sixth win in a row for the Cleveland Cavs. Previously they had defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (118-107), Detroit Pistons (113-85), Washington Wizards (114-91), Indiana Pacers (122-103) and Memphis Grizzlies(128-113).
The Cavaliers approach the match against an outsider in optimum form. The Cavs’ squad is free of injuries and illnesses.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are ranked 4th in the Eastern Conference. The team has 37 wins and 22 losses.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are conceding an average of 104.6 points per game at home.
The San Antonio Spurs continue to break an anti-record. 12 games – 12 defeats. A result that dramatically transformed a Western Conference midfielder into one of the worst teams of the season.
In their last game, the Texans were defeated on the road by the Atlanta Hawks (106-125). It’s hard to single out any San Antonio player. By the way, the Spurs twice came close to breaking their losing streak. Those were games against the Detroit Pistons (131-138) and Phoenix Suns (118-128). Those games were decided in overtime.
The San Antonio Spurs rank 14th with 14 wins and 43 losses. Only the Rockets are lower, which could overtake the Texans in the table at any time.
The San Antonio Spurs have lost 14 straight away games.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Cleveland Cavaliers: Darius Garland – Donovan Mitchell – Isaac Okoro – Evan Mobley – Jarrett Allen.
San Antonio Spurs: Malaki Branham – Tre Jones – Keldon Johnson – Jeremy Sochan – Zach Collins.
There are no injured players for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Devin Vassell (Out), Khem Birch (Out), Tre Jones (Out), Romeo Langford (Out), Keldon Johnson (Day-to-day), Jeremy Sochan (Day-to-day), Doug McDermott (Day-to-day) and Charles Bassey (Out) are injured players for the San Antonio Spurs.
