Best Bet: Golden State WIN -3.5 @1.37 (U.S: -270)- Not only did the Warriors start a series 0-1 but they also lost their 3rd game at the Oracle for the season. This team broke the all time best wins record (73-9) but have stumbled three times already in the post season, which makes us question their status against other historical teams that romped through the playoffs. A win is the only solution for the Warriors tonight, or the doubters will keep coming. – WIN

Feeling Lucky: Over 223.5 @1.91 (U.S: – 109) – Game 1 saw Durant and Westbrook both put up 33% shooting from the field while Klay (25 pts), Draymond and Steph (26 pts) hit the mark a little more often. Golden State just need to do a little more to get over the line here, and even in blow-outs, the Warriors don’t disappoint. Their ceiling is just a little bit higher.-LOSS

Feeling VERY Lucky: Oklahoma +4.5 @2.67 (U.S: +167)- The Thunder are on a mission after getting through San Antonio and have all the confidence in the world to push the Warriors again in game 2. The Adams and Kanter tandem is working while Russ is picking the right time to defer to Durant. The Warriors are going to come out firing, but expect the Thunder to keep pushing. The bigs of the Thunder hold this series in their hands. –LOSS

*Side Note – Can we all just get over the Steven Adams “monkey talk”? Clearly there was no malice in it, the guy’s mother is Tongan for goodness sake! Sometimes words are just words, and he was clearly referring to the quickness and agility of the Warriors guards, not their skin colour, end of story. (unless you need to make one, for ratings purposes).
