Golden State
Golden State is showing why it is such a popular online sportsbook bet. In this matchup it was obvious early on that they were the deeper team. Game three is the best example. When the super star Curry scored only 11, Durant picked up the slack. If James scores 11, the Cavaliers are dead. Yet even when he tallied 33, there was not enough support to go with him. Remember when the Cavs won the title in 2016 LeBron carried them. But at least at that time they had something of a supporting cast.
Important Names on Court
King James leads the Cavaliers with 35 points per game during the playoffs. He has added nine rebounds and nine assists per game. Center Kevin Love is averaging 15 points per tilt in support.

Matchup to Watch
The only matchup advantage Cleveland may have here is motivation in fact. They won’t want to get eliminated at home. But Golden State has proven their NBA games betting odds worth. In this matchup the Warriors should finish the kill. They have too many weapons. Cleveland cannot matchup with Golden State’s depth.
