NBA Finals Preview

Cavs Vs Warriors
This is the match up every was hoping to see. It’ll be the fourth consecutive year these two teams will meet in the finals and with the Warriors winning 2 of the last 3 it’s going to be a huge task for Lebron James and his team. The one thing we’ve learned from history is that you NEVER underestimate King James. The King has been to the last 8 finals and has won three of them so it’s fair to say he knows how to get it done. The Cavs will be relying heavily on him as from the 3 championships he’s won he has taken home the NBA Finals MVP on each occasion and this finals series will be no different. The Warriors on the other hand have talent all across the court but the two names they’ll need to shut down James and put the points on the board are Curry and Durant. Curry showed glimpses of his brilliant best against the Rockets and Durant was in hot form shutting out the Harden led team which has proven to be no easy task all season. Some insights for the series are:
• The Warriors have won seven of their last eight encounters with the Cavaliers.
• LeBron James has been the leading scorer in 11 of Cleveland’s last 12 games.
• LeBron James has lost each of his last six Game 1s in the NBA Finals.
Our prediction is Warriors to win 4-2 ($5.60) and Curry to be series MVP ($3.00).
