The Golden State Warriors (27-28) visit the Cleveland Cavaliers (20-34) at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Warriors-Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
The Warriors absolutely embarrassed the Oklahoma City Thunder last time out, winning 147-109 as 12.5-point favorites at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Golden State has won and covered three straight while averaging 129.3 PPG while allowing just 108.3 PPG.
The Cavaliers have been Jekyll and Hyde lately. They’re coming off a 103-90 win in Charlotte Wednesday as a three-point underdog as the Under (210) connected. Before that, they lost back-to-back games at home against New Orleans and Toronto. Before that, they won back-to-back games at San Antonio and Oklahoma City by 24 or more points. Who will show up Thursday?

Warriors at Cavaliers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Warriors 111, Cavaliers 108
Money line (ML)
The Warriors (-400) will cost you four times your potential return, and while they should be able to push past the Cavaliers (+310), you never know who is going to show up from Cleveland.
AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The Warriors -9 (-110) spanked the Thunder Wednesday by 38 points, but they have a quick turnaround with the overnight flight to Cleveland, the time zone change and another game in less than 24 hours.
The CAVALIERS +9 (-110) are in the same boat, traveling from Charlotte after their game. They’ll be on their home floor, and they didn’t have to change time zones while having a short trip. That will make a difference.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 224.5 (-110) is the play despite the fact Golden State went nuts with 147 points on Wednesday. The Under is 8-2 across their past 10 when playing in the second end of a back-to-back set while hitting in 11 of their past 15 road games.
The Over has dominated for Cleveland lately, too, but the Under is 9-3 in its past 12 games when playing in the second end of a back-to-back. The Under is also 7-3 in the past 10 for the Cavs as a ‘dog.
