Sundays without any NFL action likely still feels weird for many fans out there, but what we do get to enjoy is a monster 11-game NBA slate with matchups all day and night. The action tips off nice and early at 1 PM ET with the Oklahoma City Thunder hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers; therefore, we’ve got our best Cavaliers vs. Thunder predictions for today!

For even more valuable Cavaliers vs. Thunder picks and beyond, we’ve also hooked you up with a guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus!

🏀 Cavaliers vs. Thunder Predictions for NBA on ABC, 2/22

Not only is this the first game of the loaded NBA slate today, but it’s also a featured matchup on ABC. Along with it also being a potential NBA Finals preview, it’s even more crucial to have Cavaliers vs. Thunder predictions and NBA expert picks. What is a bummer is that we won’t see Donovan Mitchell vs. Shai-Gilgeous Alexander today.

SGA is scheduled to miss at least one more week with his abdominal injury, and we also saw Jalen Williams miss Friday night’s win. That’s why we saw OKC score only 105 points on their home court against the lowly Brooklyn Nets, so it’s safe to say that Cavaliers vs. Thunder predictions are a step up in class.

Cleveland is undefeated since grabbing James Harden, and they allowed Evan Mobley to rest in their Friday night victory. So, they’re set up for some revenge from just over a month ago when OKC blasted them 136-104. With all that in mind, let’s fully break down the best bet from our Cavaliers vs. Thunder predictions.

 

🏅 Cavaliers vs. Thunder Best Bet: Evan Mobley Over 12.5 Points (-115 at Novig)

We’re going to focus on one of the guys that we just mentioned above. As many stars as we could have had on the court, we see value elsewhere. It may be a tough one to swallow when we know how much Donovan Mitchell can take over the stat sheet, but Mobley is in a more solid spot than you may expect.

He’s the focus of our Cavaliers vs. Thunder predictions in part thanks to his success against OKC, which is rare in itself. He had 16 points against them in that aforementioned loss about a month ago, and in three of his last four games against the Thunder, he’s scored 16, 21 and 22 points.

The only outlier was a game in which he played just 18 minutes, so we’re glad that he’s coming off some rest. Furthermore, in his career overall against OKC, he’s averaged over 17 points per game. With Jarrett Allen also coming off a 26-point night, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein are still going to have to worry about him as well.

Perhaps not the pick that most would expect, but we’ve got Evan Mobley over 12.5 points (-115 at Novig) as the best bet from our Cavaliers vs. Thunder predictions.
