Both teams have had a long rest after their conference semifinals series’ and that has helped the Cavaliers with Kyrie Irving and LeBron James dealing with injuries. James is fine and while Irving still has knee issues he has been practicing and will play in Game 1. Klay Thomson had a concussion, but he has been cleared to play in Game 1. In the 2 meetings this season each won by double-digits on their home floor.

This is the 5th straight finals appearance for James and he and the Cavs have a tough task in Golden State where the Warriors only lost 3 games all season. League MVP Stephen Curry has been great in the playoffs and will be solid in Game 1 and while the Warriors may win Cleveland will not get blown out and they will cover the 6-point spread.
