Tip and bets
Lakers are terrible on defense in the current season, allowing 113,7 points per game. But their offensive game is not so bad, they average 108,5 points per game. We are expecting a high-scoring game against the Cavaliers, who are also strong around the opponent's rim.
Our prediction - total over 221,5 points
Lakers are too inconsistent, so we are not expecting a success from them in a game against Cleveland. Visitors were looking much better in recent games, so we offer to place a bet on them.
Our second bet is on Cleveland to win the match (Including OT)
