Cleveland Cavaliers at Oklahoma City Thunder - Free NBA Betting Tips

The biggest game of the season so far - preview for the NBA Championships? We think so.

A meeting of the NBA's top two teams. OKC with a 33-6 record, 6 games ahead in the Western Conference host Cleveland with a 34-5 record, 6.5 games ahead in the East. It's a battle of this season's big boys.

The sportsbooks are finally taking Cleveland's title credentials seriously, take a look at our NBA Futures odds article for updated Thunder and Cavaliers Championship odds.

The bookies have OKC listed as narrow, 1.5 point favourites for this game, which makes sense given home court advantage.

Both teams are 4-1 in their last five games, OKC lost in Cleveland and Cleveland lost at home to Indiana - a result we tipped successfully.

Oklahoma are 9-1 in their last 10 games, 16-2 at home, on a W3 streak. The Cavs are also 9-1 in their last 10, 14-3 on the road, on a W1 streak revenge against the Pacers)

Before we make our decision about how we are tipping this mega game, let's see what the main NBA tipping sites have got to say on it.

(Our Player Prop Bet Tips are further down this page)

Dimers - forecasting a 117-114 win for the Thunder, and a mild feeling for Under 233
Clutch Points - Thunder -3.5
Pickswise - Thunder -2.5, SGA to score more than 30 points
Sportskeeda - Thunder win, Over 233.5
Betting Odds - Thunder on the moneyline
Sportsline - projecting a 116-111 win for OKC, tipping with a slight lean Thunder -2.5, and Thunder to win the game, but a stronger "moderate" tip on Under 232.5

We're with Cleveland for this game, being able to get odds greater than 2.00 on Cleveland for any game this season is, in our opinion worth taking. We are also going to back the Over market, the sportsbooks have shaved 3 points from this total in the last few hours, it is a shave too far in our opinion.
