Best Bet: Golden State WIN @1.42 (U.S: -238) – Back at home, with one win required to become back to back Champions, the Warriors see this as a great opportunity to cap off an amazing season, even if it means their starting power forward will only be able to celebrate outside the arena.
Steph was questioned prior to the previous game about his unanimous MVP stature, which was completely thrown out the window after the Warriors Game 4 win. Yes, Draymond will be a big loss, but it means more minutes for Iggy and Barnes, which is not that unfortunate in front of a home crowd.
The so called ‘Hero ball’ has undone the Cavs throughout this Finals series, and they are no real match for the red hot Warriors.
Feeling Lucky: Over 205.0 @1.91 ( U.S: -110) – This is a coin flip for us being that the games are split on the over 205 total points barrier in this series, but we are forecasting that the impact of Draymond missing the game will allow the Cavs to score some more on the inside, while the Warriors will look to score outside the paint.
Feeling VERY Lucky: Cleveland WIN @2.95 ( U.S: +195) – There is one thing we must be weary of, and its a fired up LeBron James. Some may think its too little too late for the King to have one last push, but if anyone currently active in the league is up for the challenge, its him. We all remember the Game 6 performance in 2012 against the Celtics where the King put everyone on his back and got the Heat a ring. LeBron is ready for another one of those performances.
