Tip and bets
Cleveland team is considered clear favorite of the upcoming game by the bookmakers. For the most recent time Jazz beat the Cavaliers at the beginning of 2021. J.B. Bickerstaff's men should be able to secure a home victory over the Jazzmen.
Our prediction - Cleveland to win with a handicap of (-6.5) points
Cleveland average 114 points per game at home, while Utah score 113 per game on away. But head-to-head matches between the teams are usually low-scoring. Mitchell should be able to score many points for the Cavaliers, Lauri Markkanen is also a strong offensive player, so we are expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total over 221,5 points
