Western Conference leaders Oklahoma City Thunder will look to bounce back when they head to the East to face Cleveland on Monday. Can they overcome the Cavs to return to winning ways? Here is our prediction.After an 11-point defeat to Utah, Cleveland is regaining momentum. They head into this game on the back of two consecutive wins – the most recent of these was a hard-fought two-point away win over Philadelphia on Saturday.
The Cavs shot 52% from the field and 50% from the three-point range to silence the Philadelphia crowd with a 117–115 victory, marking their third win in four games. Notably, Kenny Atkinson’s men have won five of their last seven home games and defeated Oklahoma three times in their last four home encounters.
Oklahoma suffered a shock defeat to Miami in their last game, squandering a seven-point lead in the first quarter to lose 122–120. That loss ended a five-game winning streak for the team. However, they will be confident of a positive result in Monday’s clash, having won four of their last five overall meetings with the Cavs.
