Warriors – Cavaliers

Stephen Curry Lebron James

The NBA always sets mouthwatering clashes on Christmas day and the meeting between last years finalists Golden State and Cleveland, is as great as it could be.

Golden State (27-1, 13-0 home) will try to maintain their perfect home record, as well as their incredible winning record this season, when they meet the Cavs in a repeat of last years’ finals. There are really now words to describe Golden State right now. This team is breaking barriers in the NBA history, winning game after game due to some incredible shooting performances, mostly by Steph Curry and Klay Thompson – who are playing some unprecedented basketball.

The Cavs (19-7, 6-6 away) are on the back of a close 91-84 win over the Knicks – their 6th consecutive victory. Even though only 2 of those wins were against playoff teams, the Cavs are really clicking right now and they should also have Kyrie Irving (who missed the last 6 months) healthy for today.

The Cavs did not look to keen on avenging last year’s loss, as they stated it’s only 1 game out of 82, while the Warriors stated that they are ready for the best version of Cleveland. War of words usually does not mean much, but Warriors seem to have the advantage in the mentality department coming into this game.

Cavs are overrated due to the return of Irving, but the guy has not played in a long time and he will barely be a factor here, particularly against Steph Curry. The odds are also artificially enhanced for Cavs in order to make this “Christmas day special” look very close, but the reality is that Golden State holds massive value, even if the odds are just about 1.35 here.

But, all in all, the biggest point here is simply the way this one guy Curry is playing and the way this whole Warriors team is playing. These guys are simply on another level.

Steph Curry is just in a World of his own this season and he is sure to step up today. This Golden State team might turn out to be the best in NBA history and with full motivation today, they will prove to be way too much for a strong, in form Cavs team, but one that still has plenty of problems and not all key players 100% healthy.

Back this incredible Golden State side to win easily. They are arguably the best team in the world to cover big spreads and they should do it today. My tip is Golden state to cover the -7 point spread. Prediction: Golden State Warriors – Cleveland Cavaliers 110-95.
