The NBA Game 5 Finals selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Game 709 at 8:00 eastern. This should be a much closer game much like the first 3 in the series, Cleveland will benefit from the 2 days rest as they are 15-0this year with 2 days rest exact, they may not win here but should stay within the number. As seen below Home teams like the Warriors are just 10-7 and have NEVER won in the finals round in this exact sequence scenario. Game 5 home teams in the playoffs off 1 win exact are 48-7 if they have a .667 or better win percentage but these teams are actually under .500 the last few years when incorporating the spread. NBA Finals teams with a .600 or better win percentage are 12-0 ats long term if they are taking 5 or more , lost by 4 or more if its one loss exact, this system cashed in game 2 of this series. NBA Finals teams like the Cavs have failed to cove just once since 1991 off a 1 loss and a prior win by 4+ points if they are not laying more than 2 points. Golden St has failed to cover 7 of the last 11 on Sunday. Classic win and no cover for the favorite here. Take the Cavs.
