Cleveland at Golden State

A tough spot for a frustrated Cleveland team off a crushing Game 4 loss, putting them in a 3-1 hole. There are lots of problems for them. The young coach is putting a lot of minutes on the starters, the offense goes stagnant with little ball movement for stretches, they can't hit free throws or three-pointers, and LeBron James is averaging 5.8 turnovers per game. While the Cavs are healthier and better than they were one year ago, Golden State is also better after a record-setting regular season. The Cavaliers are 7-18-1 ATS following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Cleveland has lost seven of the last eight meetings straight up against the Warriors. Golden State is home, confident, and so hard to defend, setting an NBA Finals record with 17 3-pointers in Game 4. The Warriors are 36-14-2 ATS at home vs. a team with a winning road record, ranked tops in the NBA in scoring (114.9 per game), field goals (.487) and three-point shooting (41.6%) during the regular season, plus third in field goal shooting defense. The Cavaliers are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Golden State and lost the first two games of the series at Oracle Arena by an average of 24 points. The wagering value is on a straight up win by the home team. Play Golden State on the moneyline.
