Smart Game Analysis
Cleveland Cavaliers has a 78% chance of winning the game
Cleveland holds a decisive advantage with fresh legs and home-court dominance against an injury-riddled Portland team playing on the second night of a back-to-back.
Key Analysis
- • Portland is without key playmakers Scoot Henderson and Jrue Holiday, while Cleveland is missing Jarrett Allen and Max Strus.
- • Donovan Mitchell enters the contest in elite form after scoring 43 points in the Cavaliers' recent win over Indiana.
- • The Trail Blazers struggle defensively, allowing 121.1 points per game which ranks near the bottom of the NBA.
- • Portland has lost three straight games and 10 of its last 13, showing a significant downward trend compared to Cleveland.
- • The Cavaliers rank third in the league for three-pointers made with 15.7 per game, creating a massive spacing advantage.
- • To remain competitive, the Trail Blazers must exploit Cleveland's lack of interior size by dominating the offensive glass.
