The Cavaliers are one of the best teams this season, but they need their luck reversed. They enter this game having lost back-to-back outings, which includes a 127-120 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Warriors are aiming to win back-to-back games for the first time this season. Steve Kerr’s team put an end to a five-game losing streak on Monday with a 116-113 victory against the Kings, led by Stephen Curry dropping a game-high 47 points on 17-of-24 shooting.

There’s a lot to take in before Friday’s Cavaliers vs Warriors game. Fortunately, Betting News has gathered the game’s odds while also having a prediction and best bet for tonight’s contest.

It’s been a long time since the Cavaliers have beaten the Warriors. In fact, Cleveland hasn’t landed a win against Golden State since Game 4 of the 2016-17 NBA Finals, back when LeBron James was still on the team.

Since then, the Warriors have defeated the Cavaliers in 14 straight meetings. It doesn’t matter if the games were in Cleveland or California: the Warriors always came out on top.

Though Golden State has had its struggles this season, the team has been rock solid at home. The Warriors are 4-1 in five tries at the Chase Center so far, winning three straight on their home court.

In other words, it’s going to be tough for the Cavs to get the job done. They’ve had some issues on the road dating back to last season, going 6-14 straight up in their last 20 away games. Having said that, four of those victories have come this season, meaning it could finally be time that the Cavaliers are turning the page.

One thing that fans can expect from this matchup is a lot of offense. Golden State is currently tied for No. 3 in the NBA with a 117.3 PPG clip, whereas Cleveland sits at No. 7 with 116.6 PPG.

A big chunk of the Warriors’ offense, unsurprisingly stems from Stephen Curry. The four-time champion is averaging 32.6 PPG this season, matching his career-high with 5.3 threes made per game. He also seems to turn it up whenever he faces the Cavs, averaging 36.5 PPG on .549/.545/.969 shooting in the last six Cavaliers vs Warriors tilts.

On the flip side, the Cavaliers will depend on Donovan Mitchell to match Curry. The three-time NBA All-Star has averaged a career-high 31.9 PPG over his first 10 games, scoring at least 30 points in all but two games this season.

If the Warriors are going to win tonight, they need to take advantage of the Cavaliers’ underwhelming three-point defense. Cleveland being frontcourt-heavy has led to its opponents connecting on 37.8% of three-point attempts when the former is the road team, which ranks sixth-worst in the Association.

Furthermore, the Cavaliers also allow the 13th-most threes made on the road. This bodes well for the Warriors, who average 15.4 threes (No. 2) on a 37.4% success rate (No. 9) at home. With shooters like Curry, Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson in the fold, I don’t think that Cleveland can match Golden State blow-for-blow.

At the end of the day, I’m backing the Warriors to walk out with the victory. Their three-point shooting gives them an advantage, as does the fact that they’re 17-2 straight up in their last 19 games at the Chase Center, whereas the Cavs have lost 10 straight road games to Golden State.

Not only can I see the Warriors easily covering the 2-point spread, but I’m also taking the over on the 228.5-point total. There’s just too much offensive talent to be ignored and with neither defense playing lights out lately, I can see this becoming a high-scoring, back-and-forth affair.
