The NBA Finals head to Cleveland for the next two games as the Cavaliers look to come back from a 0-2 deficit against the Warriors. LeBron James and the Cavs have struggled early in the series.
According to OddsShark, Game 3 is a pick ’em with no team favored. The over-under is set at 205.5 points. The moneyline is set at -110 for both teams.
James is shooting 42 percent in the series which is over 10 percent less than his season average of 52.9 percent. The Cleveland offense has sputtered as the Warriors won Game 1 by 15 points and Game 2 by 33 points.
The OddsShark computer projects a 102-99 Cavs victory in Game 3. The computer is taking the Cavaliers and the under on the point total.
There have been no signs of life for the Cavs in the first two games. With Kevin Love listed as questionable, it puts Game 3 even more in doubt. Heavy expects the Cavaliers to feed off the home energy early in the game and get off to a good start.
Ultimately, the Warriors will sustain Cleveland’s start and come away with a third consecutive victory in the series. The Cavs have yet to see Steph Curry and Klay Thompson at their best. Even if one player can display a great shooting performance, the way the Warriors supporting cast is playing, it will be enough to send the series to 3-0.
Heavy’s Pick: Warriors 98 Cavaliers 93. Warriors Even. Under on the point total.
