Game Preview

 

The Cleveland Cavaliers play the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road at the Paycom Center on Friday night. The Cavaliers will be playing in their second game of a back-to-back set on Thursday night. On the other hand, on Wednesday, the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 137-132.

 

Cleveland has a quick turnaround after last night’s spectacular 113-95 victory over Houston as they travel to face Oklahoma City. Due to their stout defense, the Cavaliers have a great chance to cover today even though they are playing on the second night of a back-to-back.

 

With 107 PPG, Cleveland has the lowest league point total defense. As they allow the third-fewest points in the paint and the fifth-lowest two-point percentage, they do a great job minimizing simple chances at the rim. Cleveland ranks tenth in the nation for rebound rate and is a great rebounding team. Given Oklahoma City’s lack of size beneath, their domination on the glass may be especially important.

 

Let’s check the latest picks, NBA news, stats and NBA expert picks for Cavaliers vs Thunder. We’ve plenty of NBA predictions for you to consider.

 

No matter how brilliantly Cleveland’s big men perform, the guard play will probably decide this game. Donovan Mitchell, a prominent player, is likely to sit out the second night of a back-to-back due to a persistent groin issue. Nevertheless, despite Mitchell’s absence from their prior game against Oklahoma City, Cleveland still won by an eight-point margin.

 

The starting lineup for Oklahoma City is one of the shortest in the league. Their tallest starter in their most recent game was only 6’8″ tall. Due to the absence of wing Lou Dort, they will probably start one of Darius Bazley (6’9″) or Mike Muscala (6’11”) tonight, but they will still be smaller than the Cavaliers. However, thanks to their perimeter players’ outstanding rebounding, the Thunder can get away with it.

 

However, thanks to their perimeter players’ outstanding rebounding, the Thunder can get away with it. With 8.0 RPG, guard Josh Giddey is the team’s leader and will try to make a significant difference on the glass. In addition to his impressive rebounding statistics, Giddey averages 16 PPG, 5.8 APG, and just about everything else you could ask for.
