Separately, we note that the last game ended with a score of 90:105. But it was December 15, 2022 and we will try to figure out what form the teams are in now.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Cleveland looked confident in recent matches. Once again, Donovan Mitchell demonstrated an enchanting game. In the last match against Indiana, the former Utah player scored 41 points. His actions helped defeat the Pacers 118-112. Also before that, Bickerstaff’s wards coped with Dallas (105:90). In the Eastern Conference standings, Cleveland continues to hold third place. The team from Ohio has 19 wins. This is three less than the first Boston.
Dallas Mavericks
Dallas fails to find stability. Wards of Jason Kidd now occupy the ninth line in the West. It has not yet been possible to rise above. The Texas team loses a lot. The Mavericks are approaching the confrontation with Cleveland after a home victory over Portland. 33 points from Luka Doncic and 32 points from Christian Wood neutralized all the Pathfinders’ efforts. Dallas won 130-110. Want more up-to-date basketball betting tips and stay informed? Subscribe to updates of the best sports betting sites rating Odds2Win.
Prediction
Our expert pick:
The previous face-to-face meeting of teams was not productive. Then the Mavericks failed to break into the protective redoubts of the Cleveland. But this time, things might turn out differently. In the last match, Luka Doncic and company showed a good game in attack. They scored 130 points. It is likely that this time Kidd's wards will pick up the keys to the defense of the "cavalrymen". Our prediction is for the over 211.5 points for odds of 1.78 at 1xBet. There is no doubt that Dallas will want to take revenge. In the previous match, the Mavericks looked great on offense. At a minimum, they are obliged to resist the opponent. The second prediction is for Dallas with a handicap (+7.5) points for 1.64. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.78.
