The Golden State Warriors dominated the two games at home to start this series, and have taken a 2-0 lead in their best of seven series. They have done so by connecting on 15 three pointers per game, to the Cavaliers 9.5. That accounts almost entirely for the Warriors 43 point margin in the first two games. It has also electrified the scoreboard, putting the total well over where it should be. Venue changes in the NBA playoffs are blindly profitable to the UNDER, connecting on 53% on the blind. These teams have met in the playoffs six times the last two years in Cleveland, and no game has seen more than 216 combined points scored. Cleveland will slow the pace at home and dig in defensively tonight. Cleveland can't run with the Warriors, as they learned in Game 2. Take the UNDER.
