The Golden State Warriors host the Toronto Raptors at the Oracle Arena for the fourth game of the NBA Finals.
This series is fulfilling all the expectations since the beginning. The level between both is very even and if it continues like this, we will probably go to seven games.
Recapitulating, first the Raptors started with a win at home and they did it in a dominant manner. For the second match the Warriors tied the series, but suffered the loss of Klay Thompson. Therefore, for the third game Golden State played without Kevin Durant and without Thompson, so Stephen Curry could not alone, despite his 47 points, and now the series is 2-1 in favor of Toronto.
For this fourth game, things could change if the guard and KD return to the court. If they do not, things for Curry and company could be difficult and could even be put against the wall.
Now, in the analysis of the numbers, being local continues to weigh and this is demonstrated by the odds of the bookmakers. The odds are clear favorites to those led by Steve Kerr, but the punters are putting their money with the Canadians.
On the other hand, in the matter of points, in the third match the line was exceeded and with quite a difference. Therefore, for this fourth meeting it was adjusted and much. The line started with 215 total points, which are four more than in the third.
