1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers experts consider Cleveland to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Washington will have very little chance of success. It is worth agreeing with them. The Cavaliers kept the core of the team in the offseason. Kenneth Atkinson came to replace the fired head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. The ESPN TV channel supercomputer — Basketball Power Index (BPI) — included the team from Ohio in the top five contenders for the championship. The Cavaliers will have to achieve a convincing victory over a weak opponent.
Our prediction is a Cleveland victory with a handicap of (-8.5) points, including overtime, for 1.72
Bet on individual total
Cleveland showed low efficiency last season. The average is 112.4 points per game. And in away matches it is a little lower - 110.9. And this time everything is going to the fact that the Cavaliers will not be able to improve their statistics in a game with not the most formidable opponent.
Our prediction is the Cavaliers' individual total under 117.5 points including overtime at 2.20
Bet on the player
Mitchell played 55 games in the regular season and averaged 26.6 points per game. The 28-year-old guard certainly hasn't lost his core skills over the summer. Donovan will be able to cause a lot of trouble for the opposing defense.
Our prediction is Mitchell total points over 27.5 including overtime at 1.87
