You can bet on the critical Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Final online between the Cavs vs. Warriors to determine whether Golden State makes whole its historic 2015-2016 season. Bets will be taken up until 8 pm EST Sunday with live in-play wagering available thereafter at BetPhoenix.
Golden State won the most games of any NBA franchise during a regular season, breaking the Chicago Bulls record. They are a -5 point favorite at home with the total set at 206. Sports bettors can also wager on the Warriors to win outright at around 1-2 odds (no spread but a $20 bet is required to win $10 and the $20 wager is refunded should the Warriors win).
Golden State entered unfamiliar territory when they lost two straight to Cleveland, thus risking their chance of repeating as NBA Champions.
"Not at all," head coach Steve Kerr said of the fear of losing following a two-game skid. "I think if you start out every season and you say we get a Game 7, we get one game at home to win the NBA championship, I'll take it every time.
“So I can't wait for Sunday. I think we'll be fine. Obviously, Cleveland has played well the last two games, and we've got to play better. But I'm confident we will. We're in a spot that 29 other teams would love to be in."
"Our confidence comes from being the defending champions, from winning at an incredibly high rate the last two years," Kerr said. "And let's be frank, we were put in a pretty difficult position in Game 5 without one of our best players, and we didn't respond well enough. We needed to play better in Game 5.
But we'll have Draymond for Game 7. We'll have our home crowd. We'll have everybody but Boges (Andrew Bogut). We missed Boges tonight, but we still feel very confident that we can win without him.
Like I said, you get one home game to win the NBA title, that's not a bad deal."
The Warriors are 50-4 Straight Up at home this season and 5-1 Straight Up as a home favorite of between 3.5 and 6 points.
Revenging a loss versus an opponent, the Warriors are 14-2 Straight Up and 12-4 Against The Spread this season.
Cleveland is 3-6 Straight Up as a road underdog of 3.5 to 6 points.
6 of 7 games in this series have gone UNDER the total over the last 3 seasons.
