  • You’ll have to forgive LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers if they’re suffering from déjà vu right now. Just as they found themselves a year ago, the Cavs are in a 2-0 hole in the NBA Finals with the series shifting to Northeast Ohio. Sportsbooks opened the Warriors as 3.5-point road favorites with a total of 226 for Game 3 tonight.

    Shark Bites
    • The visiting team is 0-4 SU and ATS in its last four games in this matchup.
    • The Warriors are 1-3 SU and ATS in their last four games on the road against the Cavaliers.
    • The Cavaliers are 2-7 SU and ATS in their last nine games in the playoffs as underdog.

    Despite winning the first two games by an average of 20.5 points, the Warriors haven’t forgotten what transpired a year ago when they let the wine and gold complete the first comeback from a team down 3-1 in Finals history.

    The biggest difference between this year’s Warriors squad and last year’s is obviously the man at small forward, as Kevin Durant is playing out of his mind while averaging 35.5 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists through the Sportsbook two games. Point guard Stephen Curry is averaging 30 points, 10.5 assists and eight boards and shooting guard Klay Thompson showed signs of breaking out of his postseason slump by registering 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting in Game 2.

    If you’re looking for someone to blame on Cleveland’s side, don’t point the finger at James. The King scored 29 points to go along with 14 dimes and 11 rebounds in Game 2 for his eighth career NBA Finals triple-double, tying for most all-time with legendary guard Magic Johnson. If the Cavs want to make this a series, they’ll need to get better contributions from Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith, Kyle Korver, Deron Williams and the rest of the reserves.

    While the Warriors have yet to lose in the playoffs, their success at the betting window away from home is no joke either. In Golden State's last 11 road games, the team is a perfect 11-0 ATS.
