Cleveland Cavaliers vs Dallas Mavericks: Prediction for the NBA match
In 2021 clubs have faced three times. Dallas scored two victories over Cleveland, while suffering one defeat. The last time when the squads sorted things out was last autumn and then the success was celebrated by the current owners (114:96).
Cleveland Cavaliers
Wards of Nick Nurse were able to get into the top 6 of the Eastern Conference. This was achieved thanks to the successful performance in recent matches. In addition to defeating Boston (115:112), the Reptiles also defeated Cleveland (117:104) and Indiana (131:91). At the beginning of the regular season, it seemed that the team from Canada would not make it to the playoffs. Then “Toronto” looked too unstable. But Nick Nurse managed to build a great team. The Raptors may well make some noise in the next stage of the competition.
Dallas Mavericks
Dallas has almost solved all its tournament tasks. At the moment, Jason Kidd’s wards are in fourth place in the West. It is unlikely that you will be able to rise higher, but it is not so easy to fly out of the top 6. It is worth noting that the Mavericks have won the last two meetings. First, Dallas defeated Utah (114:100). After that, the team from Texas also coped with the Lakers (128:110). In the last match Luka Doncic was again the best in Dallas. The Slovenian has a triple-double.
Prediction
Cleveland needs this win more. The Cavaliers are battling for a playoff berth. But Dallas doesn't really need this match. Nothing will change if Kidd's underlings lose. With this in mind, we offer to believe in the capabilities of the hosts. Our prediction is Cleveland's handicap (+6) points for odds of 1.77 in 1xBet bookmaker.
