Nets vs. Cavaliers Betting Prediction
The sides are evenly-matched and in very similar form. The Nets are on a league-high eight-game win streak and will be brimming with confidence with the fact that their team suddenly has so much balance. The chemistry between Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons is now fully on display as all three are performing admirably. The Cavs are incredibly well-drilled as a team but do not have enough momentum to keep the Nets quiet.
Brooklyn Nets: -8 (-110)
