Cleveland Cavaliers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction: Cleveland is stronger

Prediction for the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers vs Brooklyn Nets match which will take place on January 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Cavaliers had won three straight games before traveling to Paris. J.B. Bickerstaff's wards beat Washington twice at home (140:101 and 114:90) and overcame San Antonio (117:115). Cleveland has beaten the underdogs in that stretch, but the Cavs have performed well before, even with injuries to their top players. 

The improved form has seen Cleveland return to the East's top, sitting sixth in the conference with a 21:15 record.

The Nets are only tenth in the Eastern Conference. Jacque Vaughn's team has played quality games but has been inconsistent this season. Brooklyn currently has a negative win-loss record of 16:21.

In their last game at home, the Nets could not hold off Western underdogs Portland, losing 127:134 (115:115) in overtime. It was New York's sixth defeat in the last seven games.

Cleveland is stronger than Brooklyn. Both in terms of roster and performance this season - it's no coincidence that the Cavs are in the top 6 in the East while the Nets are just outside the top 10. Cleveland won the first meeting between the two teams in this league and two of the three games last season. Why shouldn't J.B. Bickerstaff's wards reaffirm their status as favorites? There is no good reason to think otherwise.
