BetDSI.com has your Warriors vs. Cavs Game 3 betting odds for the 2015 NBA Finals Tuesday.
Cavaliers Starting to Get Respect
The Cleveland Cavaliers were an underdog to win the NBA Finals before the series began and then after Kyrie Irving was injured they became an even bigger underdog but they showed in Game 2 that they have a chance with LeBron James leading the way. James has been fantastic in this series and Cleveland easily could have taken both of the first two games in this series.
Kyrie Irving is out for the series because of a fractured left kneecap and while the Cavaliers could definitely use Irving, they realize that they won’t get any sympathy. "You'd love to see us at full strength, obviously, for the Finals," coach David Blatt said. "The situation is what it is, and we're going to come out and play and play to win. Request no quarter and no sympathy. We've got to come out and play and play to win. That's it." LeBron James has to carry an even bigger load than previously without Irving in the lineup and he has been doing it scoring 44 points in Game 1 and 39 points in Game 2 "It's a tough pill to swallow," James said. "Obviously, we've been in this situation, but we always knew at some point he'll come back. Now that he's out for the rest of the Finals and out for a period of a long time, first of all, it sucks for him personally. It's a huge blow for our team, especially at this stage.”
Series Notes
The Warriors have had a lot of recent success in this series. They are 8-3 SU, and 7-4 against the NBA betting odds in the last 11 meetings. Four of the last five have gone under the total and it would be five for five if not for Game 1 going to overtime. The Warriors have won six of the last ten games in Cleveland with three of the last four going over the total.
