NBA Finals Game Three: betting preview, tips, when to watch

Sky Sports Arena, 2.05am Wednesday night

Golden State have taken Toronto back to the Bay Area with the NBA finals tied at 1-1 but their 109-104 victory came at a price.

Klay Thompson had to be replaced after suffering a tight hamstring having already scored 25 points in the match, and with Kevin Durant also struggling the Warriors are gong to have to be patched up for Game Three.

They will be encouraged by the fact they have won nine of their 13 home Finals games in the last four years and their record against the Raptors is particularly impressive.

They have won 17 of their last 22 matches against the Canadians and 13 of their last 14 against them on their home court.

However, they may not cover a six-point handicap, having failed to get the right side of the line in five of their last six home matches.

In three of their five home playoff games against Houston and Portland, their winning margin was not enough to cover the spread and this could be a similar experience.

Recommendation
Toronto +6
2pts 10-11 general
