Here's a concise betting preview for the Cavaliers vs Nets game:

The Cleveland Cavaliers face the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center in their final regular season matchup. Despite Cleveland's recent 1-9 slump and playoff elimination, they aim for a season sweep against Brooklyn, who is looking to secure the second seed.

Cavaliers Outlook:

  • Team struggles with one of NBA's worst offensive ratings (105.7)
  • Darius Garland averages 17.4 points, 6.2 assists on 45% shooting
  • Collin Sexton leads scoring with 24.5 points and 4.4 assists
  • Previously scored 25 points with 9 assists in 125-113 win vs Nets

Nets Outlook:

  • Superstar trio (Irving, Harden, Durant) building chemistry for playoffs
  • James Harden averaging 25.1 points, 11 assists on 47% shooting
  • Coming off 105-91 victory against Chicago Bulls
  • Stars expected on 25-minute restriction

Key Factors:

  • Cleveland's interior depth has proven effective against Brooklyn
  • Nets' superstar trio rarely played together this season
  • Brooklyn seeking to lock in second seed
  • Nets favored due to superior talent and depth

The Nets are expected to grind out a victory, though their stars will be on limited minutes as they prepare for the playoffs.
