LiontipsBrooklyn vs Cleveland. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
After three consecutive victories Brooklyn suffered a defeat. It was easy to beat Orlando, New Orleans and Oklahoma, but when Nash's men had to fight against stronger opponents, everything turned out to be not so great. Nets failed to put up a fight against Golden State. Kevin Durant couldn't do anything in this match. Other Nets' players were also looking weak. Eventually, Brooklyn suffered a 99:117 defeat.
It is Nets' second defeat to the leaders of the conferences in recent times. One week ago Nash's players also failed to defeat Chicago and suffered a 95:118 defeat.
Cleveland is in a terrible situation now. All of Cavaliers' key players are unavailable right now. Collin Sexton, Jarrett Allen, Lauri Markkanen, Kevin Love and Lamar Stevens won't play in the match against Brooklyn. But the biggest loss in Evan Mobley. Cavaliers' new center was a crucial part of the team recently. But unfortunately now he is down with a dislocated elbow. He will miss a few weeks.
In the previous match against Boston J.B. Bickerstaff fielded only nine players for the game. But Mobley was available back then. Seems like now Cavaliers have only eight players left.

Tip and bets
Cleveland played well defensively in previous matches. Team conceded 101 points per game on average. But a loss of key players will surely affect their performance. Without Mobley and Allen it will be extremely hard for the team to stop Brooklyn's offense. Seems like this time Bickerstaff's men won't be able to defend their basket.
We think that Nets will take advantage out of Cavs' problems. Durant and co will probably put up a great performance.
Our prediction - Brooklyn: IT over 107,5 points
Cleveland won't have many chances to stop the Nets. Brooklyn will have a great opportunity to redeem themselves for a loss to Golden State.
Our second bet is on Handicap (-7.5) points on Brooklyn
