The Cavaliers won two confident back-to-back victories after a pause in the regular season. First, Kenny Atkinson's team met on the road with Brooklyn and did not miss even a hundred points - 110:97. Then Cleveland left no chance for success at home against the third team in the East, New York, and won a resounding 142:105.
Cleveland now has six straight wins, 10 wins in the last 11 games and only 10 losses with 46 wins in the entire championship. The Cavaliers are solidly in the lead in the Eastern Conference and also lead the league in offensive efficiency rating with 122.8 points scored per game. On defense, Cleveland is ninth, allowing 111.5 points per game.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies also started after the All-Star break with two back-to-back meetings. Taylor Jenkins' team played on the road against representatives of the Eastern Conference and can hardly take two of those games as an asset. First, Memphis lost to Indiana (113:127), and then beat Orlando (105:104), which is not in the best shape, by only one point.
Memphis retained second place in the Western Conference with a 37-19 win-loss record. As for game characteristics, the Grizzlies are not always effective on defense, conceding 115.8 points per game on average and ranking only 22nd in the current championship. But on offense, the Bears share first place with Cleveland with 122.8 points per game.
H2H Meetings
The teams have not met yet this season, and in the previous two championships Cleveland has three wins in four games against Memphis.
Expert Betting Tips
Cleveland is in great shape and after a slump around the equator of the regular season has been racking up victories again lately, and the Cavaliers have already accumulated six of them ahead of their meeting with Memphis. The Grizzlies, on the contrary, are not in the best shape now, lost to Indiana, barely coped with ‘Orlando’, and are unlikely to be able to stop the leader of the Eastern Conference in their current state. Here we bet on a confident victory of Cleveland, and also take the total more points, because two of the best offenses of the current championship meet each other.
