Team Head-to-Head Matchup

While the Cavaliers (7-3) do have a better record-wise, they’re putting up a strong performance against the spread as opposed to the Trail Blazers (3-7) who are struggling with their travelers and probably will be in this one too (Cavaliers 6-4 against the spread, Blazers 4-6). Well, I guess in the end, scoring becomes one big similarity between both teams, 111.6 ppg for Cleveland and 111.5 ppg for Portland. A bit in favor of the Cavaliers seeing they shoot a little better, at 47.09 percent from the field, while the Blazers nail it 46.53 percent of the time. Cleveland does a better job on the boards, averaging 43.3 rebounds per game against Portland’s 41.1. Alas, it would appear from their other statistics that the Blazers do spend more time on three-point shooting, as they have attempted 357 times making 137, while the Cavaliers have shot 318 times converting them 117. When it comes to steals, on the whole, Portland does a little bit better at this, averaging 7.8 steals per game, while Cleveland is at 7.4.
