This game will be played at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse at 7:30 PM ET on Friday, January 20, 2023.
Why Bet the Cavaliers:
✅ Golden State is coming off of an overtime game on Thursday night. They typically do not play their stars on back to backs, and even if they do, this is a grueling schedule for them.
✅ Even in better circumstances, the Warriors are a mess on the road this year. They have gone 5-18 away from Chase Center this season and their struggles away from home will not stop here.
✅ Cleveland, meanwhile, has been close to unbeatable at home on the year. They are 19-4 at Rocket Mortgage Field house this season, and they are not likely to falter against a Warriors team in a bad spot.

Golden State Warriors
Last night, the Golden State Warriors could not get the better of the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. They held the lead deep into the fourth quarter, but allowed Boston to hit some big shots late to drop the game in overtime. Now the Warriors are playing on the second leg of a back to back on Friday night, as they go into a hostile environment in Cleveland.
There will be questions as to who takes the floor for the Warriors in this contest, as they have typically sat at least Klay Thompson for back to backs this season. It will be interesting to see if any other big names are absent, as that could have a huge impact on how competitive the Warriors are in this contest.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers are coming off of a one-point loss against the Memphis Grizzlies in their last game. But the Cavs were on the road for that game, and return home for this contest on Friday night against the rival Warriors. Home court advantage has been huge for the Cavs this year, and they will aim to keep it that way against a road weary Warriors squad.
It is worth mentioning that Donovan Mitchell is listed as questionable for this game due to a groin injury. If he cannot play, look for Darius Garland to assume a larger role in the Cavaliers offense. But the scoring depth of the Cavaliers will make it so that Mitchell’s presence is not mandatory to win this game, should the Cavs decide to hold him out.
