Pre-match view
Cleveland has the better recent scoring evidence and home head-to-head form, but its overtime workload and Washington's unresolved absences keep the margin uncertain.
Cleveland's stronger recent scoring and home win over Washington give it the edge, but an overtime game plus reported Washington absences around AJ Dybantsa and Justin Champagnie leave both rotations unsettled.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
Experimental forecasts: accuracy has not yet been validated against historical results.
