In a game that could very well be the NBA finals in 2025, the Thunder will face the Cavaliers in Cleveland during the regular season, putting the best record in the league at stake. This game generated high expectations from early on and the bookies in the early action set the Cavaliers as 2.5-point favorites for Wednesday's game.

Also, one of the two best streaks in force will see its end in Cleveland, as the Cavaliers with a better record than the Thunder have won 10 games in a row, but the Thunder with a record of 30-5 have impressively won the last 15 games and have not lost since December 1st against the Rockets. In the betting, in the long term it seems that the bettors trust a little more in the Thunder, compared to the Cavaliers, to win the championship ring, as Oklahoma has odds of +300 to achieve it and the Cavs of +1100.

These teams did not meet in 2024, and in 2023 the Thunder won all three games against each other. The Cavaliers only lost once at home this season and that was to the Hawks. The Thunder, the only time this season that they were underdogs and on the road in a game, won by 17 points.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

The Thunder are inspired after comfortably beating the Celtics in what looked like another test of fire. Thunder beat the defending champions 105-92 behind 33 points from Gilgeous-Alexander. Once again, they managed to steal 11 balls from the Celtics despite the fact that they are one of the teams that turns the ball over the least. Gilgeous-Alexander continues his MVP-worthy season and even more so in January where he scored 29 points against the Clippers, 33 against the Knicks and 33 against the Celtics. Without a doubt, he shined in the first three games of the year against heavyweight rivals. Our prediction for Thunder vs Cavaliers is: Thunder +2.5.

Prediction:

 

Thunder +2.5
