Smart Game Analysis
Cleveland Cavaliers has a 78% chance of winning the game
The Cavaliers are heavily favored to extend the Warriors' road losing streak, capitalizing on the confirmed absence of Stephen Curry and Al Horford.
Key Analysis
- • Golden State is severely handicapped with Stephen Curry (quad) and Al Horford (back) ruled out, removing their primary offensive engine and defensive anchor.
- • Donovan Mitchell is averaging 30.6 points per game and faces a depleted Warriors backcourt that lacks its usual defensive resistance.
- • The Warriors have lost three consecutive road games and hold a poor 4-9 record away from Chase Center this season.
- • Cleveland's offense averages 119.6 points per game, a mark the Warriors will struggle to match without their leading scorer.
- • Evan Mobley is primed to dominate the paint and rebounding battle given the lack of size in Golden State's available frontcourt.
- • Golden State's only path to an upset relies on a massive scoring outburst from Jimmy Butler, who is currently listed as questionable with a knee injury.
