Total: 206.00 | 100.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Warriors have played in 20 postseason games - and this total opened the lowest of any of them.
Cleveland scored 120 points in Game 3 of the series this past Wednesday. Golden State averaged 107 points in winning the first two games of the series. Each of the first three games of the series has been a blowout. A close game is due. The spread for this matchup reflects that, which puts the possibility of overtime into play.
Steph Curry is due, too, for a huge game. He's averaging 16 points per game in the series, down 14 points per game from his 30-point season average. Golden State is the No. 1 scoring team in the NBA averaging a tick under 115 points per game.
The Cavaliers have reached triple digits in 23 of their last 28 games. Their confidence is up after torching the Warriors for 120 points two days ago. Kyrie Irving is back on track and LeBron James remains unstoppable cementing his status as an all-time great.
The Cavaliers accomplished this huge scoring game despite missing Kevin Love, their third-leading scorer. He's questionable due to a concussion. If Love sits out again, the Cavaliers go small and play fast. It's not a minus, though, for the over if Love plays since he's such a weak defender.
