To the 91% of BetOnline players who bet on @NBAonTNT saying "Drake" at halftime, thank @JoeyKnish22 and Sir Charles for the assist. Nice +300 score

Twitter has exploded over Drake's antics on the sidelines and the bookmakers are eating it all up.

BetOnline posted a number of Drake prop bets ahead of Game 6, including whether the recording artist and one time child actor would be escorted out by arena security Saturday night.

He was relatively calm Saturday evening all things considered.

From the New York Post:

Drake, of course, already has grabbed headlines for massaging a head coach mid-game, getting into a teasy war with the opponent team owner’s daughter and attempting to get into the Bucks’ heads. And it looks like all the antics paid off.

Golden State has opened as a -1 favorite on the road for Game 1 of the 2019 NBA Finals Thursday. Toronto is higher seeded than the Warriors and will have home advantage for the Finals.
