Cleveland Cavaliers at Washington Wizards (Cavs lead 3-2)
Friday, 7:05 pm Eastern – ESPN 2
SBG Global Opening Line: Wizards - 4, Total 187.5
The Washington Wizards finally stopped talking and started playing on Wednesday and it resulted in a win on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers. If Washington can win at home on Friday they would force a game 7 back in Cleveland on Sunday. "We just said, 'It's time to stop all the talking.' A lot of guys were trying to defend themselves as far as this and that. But it wasn't working," Washington’s Antawn Jamison said, “We said: 'the ultimate change around is for us to just be quiet and find a way to come back from 3-1 and win the series.' I think they finally got it."
SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Cavaliers on the Road.
The Wizards were without guard Gilbert Arenas on Wednesday but they may be better off without him. They played more as a team and Caron Butler ended up hitting the winning shot in the 88-87 win. "Caron wants an opportunity to lead a team," guard Roger Mason Jr. said. "He willed us to that victory yesterday. His personality was on the floor, and I think it's good for us." Butler had 32 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the Game five victory. Butler outplayed Cleveland’s LeBron James on Wednesday as James missed what would have been the winning shot. The Cavaliers will try and get some help for LeBron on Friday. James is averaging 30.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists in the series.
