The exchanges between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder have been rather one-sided, as the Caves have gone 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS in the past seven meetings between the two teams. This matchup will have a much different complexion than the previous meetings, as this will be the first time the Cavaliers and Thunder play this season.
- The Cavaliers are 2-11 ATS in their past 13 games.
- The total has gone UNDER in 4 of the past 5 games between the Cavaliers and Thunder.
- The Cavaliers are 1-5-1 ATS in their past 7 home games.
The Cavs have been woefully inconsistent as of late with the team going just 3-6 SU and 2-7 ATS in their past nine games. Though LeBron James is calling for the organization to get a playmaker to help on offense, it has been the defense that has been the issue. Cleveland has allowed opponents to average 112.6 points and a 47.9 field goal percentage in their past nine.
The Thunder enter this game riding a three-game winning streak but will be without Enes Kanter. Kanter has been one of the nest bench players in the NBA this season, but the center fractured his forearm punching a chair in a game against Dallas. That means more responsibility for Russell Westbrook, who is averaging 33.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists in the past three.
