Draymond Green’s set to return in tonight’s Game 6, and the Golden State Warriors will be tougher to put down this time around. But that shouldn’t faze the Cleveland Cavaliers at all especially since they’ll have a thunderous Quicken Loans Arena crowd cheering them on.
Both James and Irving scored 41 points apiece in Game 5 and are averaging 50.8 points combined this postseason. Another masterful outing from either superstar should be enough to help the Eastern Conference champions even the series at 3-3.
Still, you can never underestimate the god-like talents of the Warriors’ Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, who are racking up 25.3 and 24.7 points, respectively, in the playoffs. The two should also be in line for a big game later, and the Cleveland defense better be ready for it.
Golden State is 2-3 SU and ATS in its past five road games. The Cavs, on the other hand, are 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS in their previous 10 home games.
Writer’s Prediction
This game goes straight down the wire with Cleveland (-2.5) emerging victorious by only single-digits.
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (10:10 PM ET)
Getting the nod for the Milwaukee Brewers is Junior Guerra (3-1, 3.31 ERA). He enters tonight’s series opener fresh off a quality start against the Mets on Friday, during which he only yielded just one run in 6 2/3 innings despite failing to capture the decision. Hopefully later, the Venezuelan right-hander, who is 0-0 with a 3.71 ERA across three roads starts this season, can get the win this time.
As for the Los Angeles Dodgers, they’ll be countering with Scott Kazmir (5-3, 4.52 ERA). He struggled with his control in a 5-4 loss to the Giants last weekend, allowing, three hits, three earned runs and five free passes. At home this season, Kazmir is 3-3 with a 3.82 ERA across six starts.
Milwaukee is 5-5 SU in its last 10 road games. Los Angeles, meanwhile, is 8-2 SU in its past 10 home games.
