Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/06/25

Saturday night will feature a nostalgic matchup of NBA Finals a decade ago when the Golden State Warriors travel to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Warriors have lost 3 of their last 4 games, and their team is filled with injuries. Stephen Curry will miss tonight’s game, while Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green are listed as questionable. Butler sat in the Warriors’ last contest against the 76ers, and Green left early in a boot. With how things have been going for both players with nagging injury, I don’t expect we see either suit up tonight. The Cavaliers have won 2 of their last 3, with their last victory coming against the San Antonio Spurs 130-117. The Cavaliers have their own injuries to handle, with Jarrett Allen, Larry Nance Jr, Sam Merrill and Max Strus all missing time. Darius Garland is also listed as questionable with a toe issue.

With all the injuries on both teams, the most notable players on the court tonight will be Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. The Warriors, sans Curry, will need to find answers to match against Mitchell. Pat Spencer has stepped up in Curry’s absence, averaging 16.5 points and 5 assists in his last 2 games. The Dubs also have Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody and De’Anthony Melton to round out the backcourt. I think the Warriors can answer this call, but I believe where they fall short will be in the paint. The Cavaliers used 80 points in the paint to take down the Spurs in their last game. The attack inside led to the Cavaliers shooting 58% from the field in the victory. With Green and Al Horford both out, that leaves the Warriors with Quinten Post and Jonathan Kuminga to defend the inside. Neither Post or Kuminga are known as great interior defenders. The Cavaliers are the healthier team playing in the home arena with an advantage in the front court. I’ll take them to cover.

Warriors vs Cavaliers prediction: Cleveland -7.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
