The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to avoid losing their third consecutive game when they take on the Golden State Warriors at home.
Not too long ago this matchup would have been must-see tv. Now that the Cleveland Cavaliers are a shell of their former selves and the injury bug has hit the Golden State Warriors pretty hard, this is a game that may not draw that much interest.
Due to being without their best players in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, Golden State currently has a worse record than Cleveland, pretty hard to believe isn’t it? The Warriors are 10-39 on the season while the Cavaliers are 13-36. Much like Cleveland, Golden State is looking to snap a losing streak. The Cavs have lost two games in a row and the Warriors have lost five straight. Cleveland’s last loss coming against Toronto on Thursday.
Golden State has allowed 124.2 PPG during their losing streak while only scoring 109.2 PPG, their largest loss coming by 33 to the Utah Jazz on January 22nd. The Warriors are just as prone to getting blown out as the Cavaliers are. Cleveland has lost by 20 or more points three times during their last 10 games. The Cavs average 106.6 points per game during that span, not quite enough to outscore Golden State during their losing streak. Although they may able to score just a bit more against the Warriors on Saturday.
