Premium Pick

Golden State was not as dominant as previous years in the NBA playoffs, but all that changed when the Warriors won Game 6 at Houston without Kevin Durant. The mindset of the team turned into complete confidence and the Warriors came out blazing against the Trail Blazers and won and covered 116-94 on Tuesday. Stephen Curry inexplicably had plenty of open shots and finished with 36 points, including nine three-pointers and Klay Thompson added 26 points. Draymond Green contributed in every way possible with 12 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals. That's a lot of adjustments for Portland to make in just one off day and the Blazers are 9-23 ATS in the last 32 meetings at Golden State. Game 1 went UNDER by 10.5 points and the UNDER is 6-0 in the Warriors' last six conference finals games. The UNDER is 13-5 over the last 18 Golden State home games and the Warriors are 15-6-1 UNDER playing on one day of rest. Play the Warriors as a Max Play today and also take the UNDER.
