Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors Pick
We are by no means concerned about the absence of Draymond Green in this outing because the Warriors have shown they know how to win without key players over the span of this postseason already. Look no further than the display of supremacy by the Warriors against the Rockets and Trailblazers when they were without the services of their MVP point guard Stephen Curry. The Warriors responded with guard Klay Thompson picking up the slack and emerging as the chief scorer for Golden State. Despite the talent and flawless execution, Golden State employs a "next-man" up mentality and with Green being forced to sit Game Five, we can expect an expanded role for both Andre Iguodala and Harrison Barnes. Both Barnes and Iguodala are playmakers and battle-tested veterans that know how to make impact plays. While some may showcase some concern about whether or not Golden State can curtail King James, we show no timidity here because Cleveland has bigger fish to fry with "The Splash Brothers" leading a deluge of three-pointers that has propelled this team to success all season. Look for Golden State to wrap up their second consecutive NBA title tonight and to do so with an exclamation point against a weary and battered Cleveland Cavaliers. We are going in on Golden State in a "best bet" play.
Free Pick:
Golden State Warriors -5.5
