Betting Tip
The Golden State Warriors proved that they are the better team at the moment with a Game 2 win but now they will have to regain the home court advantage as the series is moving to Boston. The Warriors have the momentum in the series and they will have to play defense as they did in Game 2 allowing the Celtics 32 less points than they scored in the opening game of the NBA Finals series. The Celtics are playing good in front of their home crowd and are going in Game 3 as a 3.5-point favorite. The Warriors will be on their 100% which will probably be enough to at least keep the game close and cover that spread. If you want to place a bet on the winner, the Warriors are a great deal at the +140 odds.
