This is a 7* play on the Golden State Warriors.
We've seen the bookmakers make a major adjustment since the news that Draymond Green will sit out Game 5 due to a suspension. The line has dropped several points, but the movement is even sharper when it comes to the moneyline. As is often the case, I think this is an overreaction. The Warriors won the first two games of this series at home by the widest margin in NBA Finals history, and they did it with little help from Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. We saw some incredible performances from role players, with Sean Livingston scoring 20 points in Game 1, and veteran Leandro Barbosa shooting a combined 10-of-12 in those games. When the Warriors look to the bench, they can answer with the likes of Andre Igoudala, who was the Finals MVP last season. Marreese Speights has not seen a lot of playing time in this series, and he's a likely candidate to get a few more minutes. Mo Buckets has scored in double figures five times in these playoffs, including a 22 point performance in Game 3 in Houston. It will likely all come down to the Splash Brothers, who came to life in Cleveland in Game 4. Curry scored 38 points, and was 7-of-13 from beyond the arc. If he plays like that tonight, the absence of Draymond Green is going to be completely irrelevant.
Take GS.
