Cleveland Cavaliers

The winning streak of “Cleveland” is already three games. The Cavaliers beat Indiana on the road (118:112), as well as Dallas twice at home and away (100:99, 105:90). The Cavaliers are third in the Eastern Conference standings with 20 wins and 11 losses.

Lamar Stevens is in the team's infirmary. This season the 25-year-old small forward spends 25 minutes on the court. You can't call it a serious loss, but he would be useful in a game with the Jazz.

Utah Jazz

On December 18 "Utah" was defeated by "Milwaukee" (97:123). Prior to this, the team from Salt Lake City won two victories in a row, beating New Orleans twice on their floor (121:100, 132:129). The Jazz is eighth in the West with 17 wins and 15 losses.

"Utah" as a whole approaches the match with a combat squad. Kelly Olynik's participation in the meeting is questionable. Collin Sexton will definitely miss the fight, who spends an average of 25 minutes on the court.

Prediction

Betting analysts consider Cleveland to be the clear favorite for the upcoming fight. The Jazz last beat the Cavaliers away in January 2021. Everything goes to the fact that this time the JB Bickerstaff team will achieve a convincing victory with the support of their fans.

Our prediction is a victory for Cleveland with a handicap (-6.5) points for 1.99.

Cleveland averages 114 points in home games, Utah averages 113 away. However, as a rule, head-to-head meetings of teams are not very productive. With the Cavaliers, Mitchell can load the opponent's basket decently, but don't forget about Lauri Markkanen, who has been very good lately.

Our prediction is for the total over 221.5 points, including overtime for 1.85.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.99.
