The Cleveland Cavaliers play host to the Brooklyn Nets at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Saturday night. Here’s a Cleveland Cavaliers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include a Cleveland Cavaliers vs Brooklyn Nets Pick.

Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets have been in decent shape as they’ve won three of their last five games overall, but they will be eager to bounce back in this one after falling just short to the Celtics in a 108-104 overtime road defeat last night. Cam Thomas led the team with 31 points on 11 of 22 shooting, Dennis Schroder added 20 points with four steals while Cam Johnson chipped in with 18 points, eight rebounds, and four assists, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Nets shot just 41 percent from the field and 10 of 38 from the 3-point line as they took it to the Celtics and got off to a quick start where they led by 14 points, but they scored just 16 points in the fourth quarter and just couldn’t get the stops in overtime to finish the job.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been on fire as they are now gunning for an 11th straight victory after blowing past the Warriors in a 136-117 home win last night. Darius Garland led the team with 27 points and six assists, Evan Mobley added 23 points, Ty Jerome provided the spark off the bench with 20 points while Jarrett Allen chipped in with 13 points, 12 rebounds, and three assists. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 54 percent from the field and a sizzling 20 of 42 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates and never looked in danger after dominating the first half by 83-42. Donovan Mitchell has been sensational for the Cavaliers so far, but he was hardly needed in this one as he scored just 12 points in 26 minutes of action before getting rested early. The Cavs will meet the 76ers and Bulls next

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction

The Nets are still missing a couple players in Bojan Bogdanovic and Trendon Watford, while the Cavaliers have again ruled out Max Strus. The Nets have quietly been playing some decent basketball lately and they would’ve taken plenty of confidence after pushing the Celtics in an overtime game last night, but now they have to take on the league-leading Cavaliers who just smashed the red-hot Warriors by 19 points last night. The line is hefty for this one, but the Cavaliers have been on a tear and I just don’t want to get in their way until they lose at least one game.
