In the recent game against the San Antonio Spurs, Mitchell came up with 28 points on 52.9% shooting from the field and 20.0% shooting from the deep. In fact, in the last five games, there were three occasions where the star guard scored over 30 points, including a 43-point show against the Indiana Pacers.
Talking about the upcoming game, the Cavaliers have homecourt advantage on Sunday and there isn’t much difference between their defensive rates. Moreover, the Cavs as well as Mitchell are in red-hot form, making the aforementioned bet a highly-likely scenario.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors Predictions
The Cleveland Cavaliers finished the previous season as the Eastern Conference toppers, but their playoff journey was cut short in the Conference Finals. Needless to say, when they stepped into the current season, the Cavs were high on hopes. And, in fact, they got off to a favorable start of their campaign. While Cleveland lost its momentum midway during the season, it seems that it is back considering how they defeated the San Antonio Spurs. Currently, the Cavs are seeded eighth in the standings with a 14-10 record. They are 11th in the league in terms of offensive rating of 116.2 and at the same spot with a defensive rating of 113.3.
On the other hand, when the Golden State Warriors finally fought their way through one of the final spots in the standings just to finish as Conference Semifinalists last season, their head coach Steve Kerr must have had high hopes for the upcoming season. However, if anything that the Dubs have been doing this season is being in a slump one game after the other. They have lost six of their last eight games and are currently on a two-game losing streak. Having missed players such as Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, the Dubs registered their latest loss against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Warriors’ current biggest problem is their injury woes, and unfortunately things are going to take some time before fans expect a positive change. Talking about their stats, the Dubs are seeded in the bottom-half of the standings with an offensive rating of 112.9. However, they have a comparatively better defensive rating, and are seeded seventh with 112.2.
Unfortunately, they have almost all their stars listed as questionable for the upcoming game. In addition to it, their current form and unfamiliarity with the court make them less favorites to win the upcoming game.
