Cleveland at Golden State

Premium Pick

The Cleveland Cavs knew it would be a long season when LeBron James chose to leave for Los Anegeles. That became clearer with the volume of games Kevin Love lost due to injury which includes tonight. The Warriors have pretty much sealed the #1 seed in the playoffs in the West. This will be a back-to-back situation for Golden State and Steve Kerr already announced DeMarcus Cousins will sit, and it is likely most of the starters play curtailed minutes as well. This line would be fair under normal circumstances but is too high based on the situation. Make the play on Cleveland.
