The Cleveland Cavaliers are riding high at the moment, because all indications from the last two games are that things are most definitely going their way. They have rebounded from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors and gotten to the point where they can go where no NBA team has gone before. All told, 32 have tried to come back in this situation, and ail of them have failed. History will be made tonight, either way, as these teams line up at 8 PM ET at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. BetAnySports customers will have the opportunity to place their wagers against the basketball betting odds in real time, making for a unique challenge indeed, as they use Live Betting Ultra to bet the game in progress.

The Cavs seemed to be given new life before Game 5 when Draymond Green, a vital cog in everything the Warriors do, had to sit down with a one-game suspension. Cleveland took advantage of his absence to win the game on G-State's home floor, which was only the second time in 54 games that the Dubs had been dealt a defeat in their own building this season. Now all LeBron James & Co. have to do is turn that trick again.

The Warriors have some players who don't seem to be going in the right direction. Andre Iguodala is agonizing through a back injury, although he will play. Steph Curry has had to soldier on through a sore knee, and Harrison Barnes has carved out his own slump by missing his last fourteen field goal attempts. Andrew Bogut is already unavailable with a knee injury.

In the NBA Finals betting odds posted on this game by the folks at BetAnySports, Golden State is the favorite, although not by as much as they were in Games 1 and 2, when they had Green in the lineup:

Golden State Warriors -4.5
Cleveland Cavaliers +4.5

Over 207 points -110
Under 207 points -110

LeBron has controlled things over the last two games, scoring 41 points in both, and he has been very tough to stop over the last four games, shooting 55% from the field. And so it is no coincidence that the Cavs have won three of those games. It was indeed kind of remarkable to see him score 18 straight Cleveland points between the third and fourth quarters, but that just widened a lead that was rarely in doubt. The Cavaliers jumped out to a 31-11 first quarter advantage, and in the process they shredded the "Death Lineup" of the Warriors, which had to start the game due to the injury to Andrew Bogut. Interestingly enough, this configuration, which outscored opposing teams by an average of 47 points per 100 possessions in the regular season, has been outscored by 14 points per hundred themselves in this series.

BetAnySports patrons can see that James has taken much more into his own hands, even though he was joined in the 41-point club by Kyrie Irving in Game 5. One disappointment of sorts in the Cleveland rotation has been Kevin Love, who doesn't seem to fit in. It is well-known that he is a defensive liability, and he has made just two field goals in the last two games. With Love, there always exists the possibility of drawing out a big man on the other side because of his ability to shoot from the perimeter, but with the "small ball" Golden State lineup, that doesn't matter all that much.

Can the Warriors keep Tristan Thompson off the boards? The undersized center for the Cavs has pulled down 27 offensive rebounds, and no one else on either team is even close. Draymond Green will have a lot of responsibility here, quite obviously, and there has to be some kind of formula to make shots more difficult for James, who is going to dominate the ball as much as possible in this one, if his Usage rate of 35 (percentage of field goal attempts, free throw attempts and turnovers he "used") in Game 6 is any indication.
