The Cleveland Cavaliers are tipped to cover the spread as they host the Oklahoma City Thunder, with the Cavs unbeaten in their first three home games and coming off a dominant 136-111 win in Milwaukee. Oklahoma City, despite leading the all-time head-to-head and winning the last meeting, are on a two-game losing streak and have failed to cover in both defeats. The Thunder are also dealing with injuries on this road trip, making Cleveland the preferred selection for this fixture.

Oklahoma City Thunder On 2-Game Skid

Oklahoma City head to Cleveland looking to snap a two-game losing skid that has dropped them to 4-2.

The Thunder opened the season on the road and down the Spurs in San Antonio, winning 116-104.

They built on that over the next three games at home, starting with a 96-84 victory over Denver.

Oklahoma City then beat the LA Clippers 108-101, before downing Phoenix 125-114 to improve to 4-0.

The Thunder’s perfect start finally ended in Dallas, where they lost 120-96 to the Mavericks, and that was followed by a 119-98 defeat in Houston.

Cleveland Cavaliers Off To Solid Start

Cleveland return home on the back of a victory in Milwaukee that improved their record to 4-2.

The Cavaliers opened the campaign in Philadelphia and suffered a 114-106 defeat at the hands of the 76ers.

They rebounded at home though, beating Brooklyn 125-121 in regulation, and followed that up with a 127-125 overtime success against Minnesota.

Cleveland made it three-in-a-row with a 121-111 victory over Washington, only to then lose 114-111 in Atlanta.

The Cavaliers bounced back from that on Saturday though, as they blew out the Bucks 136-111 in Milwaukee.

Verdict

Oklahoma City have had Cleveland’s number in recent seasons, but they are dealing with a bunch of injuries right now.

The Cavaliers are off to a good start, especially at home, so we are leaning towards the hosts in this one.
