Rogers' Game 2 1st Half PLAYBOOK (Side)
(NBA) Cleveland vs. Golden State,
Point Spread: -6.00 | -109.00 Golden State (Home)
Result: Win
The Cavaliers looked totally out-classed in Game 1 of the NBA Finals in Oakland. They scored just 43 points in the first half, and went on to lose 104-89. Perhaps the biggest concern for the Cavs is that Steph Curry and Klay Thompson scored a combined 20 points, and the Warriors role players badly out-played Cleveland's starting five. After watching the Cavs shoot 38.1 percent from the field in Game 1, I don't think much will change in Game 2.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - These two teams have failed to reach the total in six of the last eight meetings, and the Cavs have failed to cover in five of the last six meetings. Cleveland is just 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Golden State. The Warriors have held Cleveland to less than 100 points in each of the last eight meetings.

2. Kyrie Irving - The Cavs star PG missed most of last year's Finals after suffering a knee injury in Game 1. He had a disappointing Game 1 this time around, shooting 7-of-22 from the field and 1-of-4 from three-point range. The Cavs will need him to hit his shots if they are going to compete here in Game 2.

3. X-Factor - The Cavaliers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 NBA Championship games.

Selection: This is a play on the Golden State Warriors first half (10*)
