Cleveland at Golden State

Premium Pick

The Golden State Warriors have charged out to a 28-5 record on the season, and own a stellar 15-1 mark on their home court. They are paying the price in the line here as they are a huge favorite against Cleveland who will once again take the floor without LeBron James. The Cavs are just 1-6 in their last seven games, and without James in the fold, this would be an easy spot for Golden State to leave the "A" game in the locker room. The line is an overlay as the Warriors were less of a favorite at home in recent games vs. Sacramento and Indiana. I think this is a good spot for the Cavs who get a boost in the line, and will likely catch Golden Sate coasting here as they conclude a successful homestand. Play on Cleveland.
