NBA Finals Game 3 Pick
Golden State Warriors +1
Now the series shifts to Cleveland with the Cavs down 0-2. Recent history hasn’t been kind to the Warriors in Game 3’s on the road, who have gone 0-4 in their last 4 series. However, streaks are made to end, and tonight is the perfect opportunity. Last season the pressure was all on the Warriors with Cleveland missing key components of their lineup, which actually benefitted the Cavs in many ways allowing them to play loose without a weight on their shoulders. Now Cleveland started the series at full strength and the pressure has mounted, and the fact is, Golden State is the best team. Sure, Cleveland can get a game or two, but the Warriors have demonstrated exactly how to stop LeBron, and their bench is firing on all cylinders. You know things are going well when Curry isn’t even the current series MVP favorite (Green). I’ll take the champs getting a point on the road. Oh, and Love is out too.
