This game sees the 5-10 Golden State Warriors take on the 12-3 Cleveland Cavaliers at The Quicken Loans Arena. Golden State Warriors C Andris Biedrins PF Brandan Wright SF Corey Maggette SG Stephen Jackson PG Jamal Crawford Key Bench Players: Kelenna Azubuike, Ronny Turiaf, C.J. Watson @ C Zydrunas Ilgauskas PF Ben Wallace SF LeBron James SG Delonte West PG Mo Williams Key Bench Players: Daniel Gibson, Anderson Varejao, Wally Szczerbiak Cleveland Cavaliers Warriors' Keys to Victory Pressure the ball for steals Push the tempo Make the impact plays Cavaliers’ Keys to Victory Come out of the gates strong Win the battle of the boards big Maintain good shooting from the floor (56.4% over the past 2 games) Prediction The Cavs have played the Warriors 10 times since LeBron entered the League in 2003, and the series is close, to say the least. It is split evenly at 5-5, and they both average around 100 points per game. They have both had a couple of big wins against each other, but have also each ground out hard-fought victories too. LeBron has missed one game against the Warriors, and averages 28 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists in the 9 games he has played. LeBron has played just 47 minutes across his last two games combined (both blowout wins) and the Cavs bench really showed that they can play too. Particularly J.J. Hickson showed this, as he averaged 12 points (11-18 shooting), 4 boards and 2 and a half blocks in the two said games. Tonight will be a tougher game, but with LeBron being fresh and raring to go, I really can't see Golden State managing to get much close than 10 points away from the Cavs come the fourth quarter. 93-106
