This is a 1* Free Play on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

History is not on LeBron James' side against the Warriors. GS took both regular season meetings between the clubs, but it's important to note though that each was before Cleveland overhauled its line-up at the trade deadline. This isn't a matchup that suits the Cavs, as the Warriors perimeter offense has gotten the better of The King in two of the last three NBA Finals. But the Warriors look more susceptible than they ever have after needing seven games to get by the Houston Rockets (and they likely would have lost if Chris Paul had suited up.) Houston has laid the blue-print on how to slow down the Warriors and we think that Tyrone Lue will have his role players ready to duplicate its performance. Also note that the Cavs are 12-6 ATS in their last 18 after allowing 85 points or less in their previous contest, while the Warriors are just 6-11 ATS this year when playing with two days of rest. Consider CLEVELAND in Game 1.
