Klay Thompson, Warriors vs. Cavs Odds, Spread, Over-Under & Market Report for Sharpshooter’s Return

Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Odds

Klay Thompson will return after a nearly three-year absence against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.

The second-best shooter of all-time tore his ACL in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals before tearing his Achilles during a workout in Nov. 2020.

Thompson is a three-time NBA champion, five-time All-Star and the only player in NBA history to score 60 points in fewer than 30 minutes and score 37 points in a quarter.

He's undoubtedly one of the best basketball players of his generation.

So, naturally, bettors are flocking to this very high profile game in what are otherwise the doldrums of January regular season basketball.

The betting public is hammering the Warriors' spread at roughly -9, though the market best line is with FanDuel at Golden State -8.

The rest of the market has this priced at Warriors -8.5, while BetRivers has this at -9.

A ridiculous 96% of the public money is on the Warriors to cover. They want to see a good story.

See if the sharp and big money bettors are fading the public in the following story that's linked.

You can bet on Klay Thompson's player props, too.

Thompson has the fifth-best odds at +850 to score the first field goal of this game at DraftKings.

That's behind Stephen Curry at +400, Jarrett Allen at +450,  Andrew Wiggins at +600 and Evan Mobley at +650.

Klay's over/under on points at DK is 12.5 (-110).

At FanDuel, Thompson's over on points at 12.5 is juiced to just -106. Klay also has a three-points made over/under of 2.5. The over would net +126 while the under is priced at -162.

Thompson's over/under on threes nets +140 at 2.5 at DraftKings. The under is at the steeper price of -190.
