Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
Keep an eye on the status of Donovan Mitchell before making your move, but even if the star guard is out, San Antonio will struggle defending the collective Cavs offense, including the next man up.
In a battle between the league’s best defense and the league’s worst defense, you can expect Cleveland’s offense to shine and San Antonio’s to struggle. That’s not exactly a breathtaking revelation, but it’s also not something to overthink.
The Cavs should walk into San Antonio and walk back out without much of a hassle. Darius Garland and Evan Mobley will have field days against the Spurs’ defense, as this is one of those games where having a fully healthy roster isn’t entirely necessary.
I’m taking Cavs straight up and laying the points.
Cleveland gets this one big.
