Golden State at Toronto

Premium Pick

Golden State will have had 14 days off the previous 18 days, including the last nine when the NBA Finals begin on Thursday night. That's a long time to try to stay sharp, especially with Toronto coming off a stunning series win against Milwaukee by winning the last four games and the Raptors having home-court advantage in this series. Not to mention Kevin Durant is out for at least Game 1 and probably longer. The Warriors are 7-18 ATS against the Atlantic Division and 2-5-1 ATS the last eight meetings with Toronto. The UNDER is 25-10 in the Warriors' last 35 games versus the NBA Atlantic and the Raptors are 13-6 UNDER their last 19 games overall. Toronto won both meetings this season, including an overtime win at home and a 20-point victory on the road. Kawhi Leonard has taught the Raptors how to win as he brings his experience with San Antonio to Toronto. Leonard averaged a career-best 26.6 points and 7.3 rebounds this season and he has been even better in the playoffs averaging 31.2 points and 8.8 rebounds in 18 games. The Raptors held the Bucks to an average of 98.3 points the last three games. Play the Raptors and the UNDER.
