Toronto Raptors v Golden State Warriors Betting Tips [2 June 2019]
The match
As expected, Toronto Raptors made the best use of their home advantage to dish out a 118-109 win over double defending Champions Golden State Warriors to take a 1-0 lead. Pascal Siakam’s 32-point effort stunned the Warriors and showed the strength of the side at home. All eyes were on the former Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, who scored 23 points, but Siakam led the Raptors. He might not get the same space in the second game, but that could help create some for Leonard. Kyle Lowry will be another important player for the Raptors, who will look to improve on his returns of seven points, six rebounds and nine assists. The Warriors have been managing a lot of injuries, more importantly to Kevin Durant. This team is making its fifth consecutive NBA Finals appearance and during this period, it has lost just seven back-to-back games. In fact, the Warriors have won 22 consecutive post-season series, with at least one road victory, dating back to 2013. The Warriors were tied for the best road record in the league this season and will look to make that count as they try and manage a comeback in the Finals.
Key Statistics
- Toronto had its second-best shooting percentage (59.1%) in the post-season.
- Warriors’ Stephen Curry has scored at least 30 points in six straight games.
- Warriors have lost only seven back-to-back games during their last five seasons.
The bet of our experts
The Warriors have shown many times in the past that they can be resilient. Durant will continue to be absent, but Curry and Thomson who combined for 55 points in the first game and Draymond Green had a third-straight triple-double. For the Raptors, Leonard and Siakam will once again be the cynosure, but expect the Warriors to bounce back and make it 1-1 before the series moves to their home.
