Warriors, Raptors Have Similar 2019 NBA Finals Odds, Golden State In Six Still Most Likely Outcome
After three games, the 2019 NBA Finals is a virtual toss-up. The Toronto Raptors took a 2-1 series advantage over the Golden State Warriors with a victory at Oracle Arena Wednesday night, giving them just about the same title odds as the defending champions.
Both Toronto and Golden State have -110 odds to win the series at BetOnline.ag. At the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, the Warriors are given even odds with the Raptors set at -120. New Jersey’s FanDuel Sportsbook has the Warriors as incredibly slight -114 favorites and the Raptors at -102.
So much is up in the air because of the health concerns facing Golden State. A hamstring injury prevented Klay Thompson from playing in Game 3. Kevin Durant hasn't played in a month because of his calf injury.
There's a chance both players will return Friday night in Game 4. Thompson is probably more likely to suit up.
Oddsmakers indicate at least one of the All-Stars will play in the next finals game. The Warriors are 5.5-point favorites in Game 4, according to OddsShark.
Stephen Curry scored 47 points in Game 3 to go along with eight rebounds and seven assists, but it wasn’t nearly enough. Kawhi Leonard led the Raptors with 30 points. Every Toronto starter scored at least 17 points.
The most popular prediction before the series began seemed to be Warriors in six. That result is still considered to be the most likely.
Golden State has +230 odds to win three straight games and successfully three-peat, per FanDuel. Golden State in seven is given + 260 odds.
Toronto in seven is +330. The Raptors have +500 odds to win in either five or six.
