The Trends-

• Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
• Warriors are 11-0 ATS in their last 11 road games.

The Say –

The question tonight is how much advantage the Quicken Loans Arena holds for the reigning champs. With the Warriors 14-0 in the Playoffs and possibly heading for the first ever perfect postseason, there is an extra spur for the away team.

Being 2-0 down in the Finals heading home isn’t what the King’s men wanted, but to most it isn’t totally unexpected. Now back in Cleveland, the Cavs find themselves underdogs at the +3.5 line after failing to push either of the first two outings in Dub City.

Should the Warriors take this Finals series, that will give Lebron 5 NBA Finals losses, and would surely end any comparisons to Jordan, not that there ever was one in our opinion…

Losing a 3-1 lead in last year’s Finals will be on the minds of the Warriors, and with KD having his own legacy issues, you can guarantee that every player on the court for the Warriors will be ready to go for the jugular tonight.

The -3.5 line for the Warriors is our Best Bet for tonight. After watching the first two games of the series we can’t see Quicken Loans Arena being enough of a factor here to sway us. We won’t be interested in the Total Points line.

The Best Pick – Golden State -3.5 @-110
