Cleveland vs. Sacramento Key Stats
Cleveland has been one of the NBA's best teams, sitting at 8-2 through ten games. The Cavaliers rattled off eight straight wins before losing their last game. The offseason acquisition of Donovan Mitchell has paid off for Cleveland, as he is averaging 31.2 points per game while shooting 50.5% from the field, 45.1% from three-point range, and 86.2% from the free-throw line.
More importantly, Mitchell has turned around an offense that struggled in 2021-2022. After finishing last season ranked 25th in points per game and 20th in offensive rating, Cleveland ranks seventh and fourth in each category, respectively. Furthermore, their defense, which ranked fifth in opponents points per game and seventh in defensive rating, has gotten even better this season. They currently rank third in opponents points per game and second in defensive rating. Cleveland currently has the best net rating in the NBA.
The Sacramento Kings have not had the same success on either side of the ball. They rank just 11th in points per game, 15th in offensive rating, 25th in opponents points per game, and 24th in defensive rating. Sitting at 3-6, Sacramento has played much better as of late. They have won three of their past five after losing their first four games. Additionally, both recent losses were due to questionable officiating, as both games likely should have gone into overtime.
Cleveland will be without Ricky Rubio and Dylan Windler, while Sacramento will be at full strength.
Cleveland vs. Sacramento Betting Prediction
Cleveland has been one of the NBA's best teams this season, and despite recent strong play from the Kings, Cleveland's success should be expected to continue. They are simply too talented on both sides of the ball. Look for Cleveland to get back in the win column, winning this game by at least five points. Furthermore, look for the teams to combine to score 228 or more.
Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers -4 (-115) and Over 227.5 (-110)
