<div class="heading">NBA Finals - Game 3 Overview</div>
<p>Golden State has now won their last seven against Cleveland from Game One dating back to their dominance of Cleveland in last year's NBA Finals. If Game One was any catalyst for a lack of a faith, Game Two would certainly foster more subscriptions to that narrative as the Cavaliers were utterly humiliated. Game Two may have been Cleveland's worst loss of the season and on the contrary such dominance in a NBA Finals match-up showcases the supremacy of the Warriors and their exquisite style of play.</p>

Golden State Warriors at Cleveland Cavaliers Pick
This market is a direct reflect of the phenomenon we champion which is known as the "King James Effect". Under any other circumstance, a team that lost the first two games in the series by an average margin of over 20 points per game would not be a one-point favorite at the open of the market, especially against a defending NBA Champion. However, as we have highlighted previously King James is perhaps the most marketable player in the NBA, even more so than two-time MVP Steph Curry as this is also reflected in betting markets as well. The evidence is painstaking, as the Warriors have shattered records and beaten down good basketball teams all season long, yet Cleveland is a pick-em after a disastrous start to the NBA Finals. Let us once again reinforce the fact that Cleveland has been outright owned by this Warriors bunch dating back to last year and the severity of the Warriors onslaught only seems to be getting worse for the Cavaliers in each game. We are astute to the fact that Cleveland plays much better at home and Golden State has had woes on the road, especially in the playoffs. But let's not forget one other thing, Golden State won a critical Game Six in Oklahoma City which ultimately led to a remarkable comeback in the Western Conference Finals and they also sealed their first ever NBA Championship in the Quicken Loans Arena, last year. While Cleveland is in the perfect position now to pick up a win given the almost superfluous level of Golden State's play, we will lay that angle and take the better team with no points to spot if the opportunity affords us that chance. We will lean on Golden State in Game Three.
