Prediction

The Cavaliers have been pretty good this season and have been one of the best records at home with an 10-1 record but they have been struggling offensively in their last games averaging only 98.2 points last 5. On the other hand, the Thunder are whole different team now and are on fire offensively scoring over 120 points in their last 10 games but they're only 5-10 on the road so expect the Cavs to dominate at home and cover the spread.
