Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers preview

Match Preview – 2nd June 2017- 02:00 – Venue – Oracle Arena, Oakland.

The Golden State Warriors will be hoping to win the opening game of a series for the fourth straight time this season when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Warriors are yet to drop a match in the playoffs and look in glorious form and will be looking for more of the same in the rematch of last year’s NBA finals.

The Cleveland Cavaliers took just five games to see off the Boston Celtics and have once again found themselves at the summit of the NBA, tasked with the challenge of defending the title they won so dramatically last season.

Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction

The Golden State Warriors lead 2-0 and 3-1 in the 2016 NBA finals before being pipped in a dramatic low-scoring game seven and they will be itching to set the record straight 12 months on. Cleveland showed all the resilience of a championship winning team when they won two out of the three matches on the road but will have to contend with being the number two ranked side this time round. Cleveland silenced the Warriors last time out but Golden State won’t make the same mistakes they made this time round.

  • Total points over 230 -2.10
  • Golden State to win with a minus 11-point handicap – 2.60
