The Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers meet Sunday in NBA action at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here is a Brooklyn Nets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers prediction.

Brooklyn nets

The Brooklyn Nets are in a rut as they have split their last six games overall and are hoping to end a two-game skid after being routed by the Hornets in a 110-99 road loss last night. Cam Thomas led the team with 31 points on 12 of 24 shooting, Mikal Bridges added 19 points while Nicolas Claxton chipped in with 14 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Nets shot 40 percent from the field and 14 of 42 from the 3-point line, but they still fought an uphill battle and couldn’t recover after scoring just 17 points in the second quarter.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers are in great shape as they have won five of their last eight games overall and they hope to continue that momentum after outlasting the Timberwolves in a 113-104 overtime victory on Friday. Darius Garland led the team with 34 points and eight assists on 13 of 26 shooting, Jarrett Allen added 33 points with 18 rebounds and three assists while Georges Niang chipped in with 16 points, six rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 43 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line as they forced overtime thanks to a clutch free throw from Garland late in the fourth quarter , before escaping in overtime.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Nets are still missing a few players with Cameron Johnson, Lonnie Walker and Ben Simmons, while the Cavaliers are still without Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. The Nets have been playing well below their best of late and their confidence took another blow after falling to the slumping Hornets in an ugly loss last night. The Cavaliers are coming into this matchup with a lot of momentum and they looked superb in their overtime win against the Timberwolves on Friday, so even though they’re a little banged up, I’m going with the Cavaliers on the reasonable line at home.
