Cleveland Cavaliers at Oklahoma City Thunder
Cavaliers exploit Thunder's depleted roster with Donovan Mitchell leading charge against injury-ravaged OKC
The pick: Cleveland Cavaliers -3.5 at −110
Lost. Final: Cleveland Cavaliers 113, Oklahoma City Thunder 121.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are missing their entire starting backcourt and key rotation players, creating an insurmountable talent gap against a healthy Cavaliers squad. Cleveland's star power with Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, and Evan Mobley will overwhelm OKC's makeshift lineup. The Thunder's home court advantage won't compensate for losing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Alex Caruso simultaneously.
