After the Cleveland Cavaliers' 137-point outburst in Game 4 Friday night extended the series, the action flips back to Oakland on Monday night as the Golden State Warriors get their second shot at closing out the NBA Finals
Handicapper Erin Rynning is back with his best bets for Game 5, after losing on a lean to the Warriors -6.
Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors
Series price: Golden State -2000/Cleveland +1000
Game 5 line: Golden State -8.5 (O/U: 230.5)
PickCenter public consensus pick: 52 percent bet Golden State
The Cavaliers flashed amazing resolve in dominating Game 4 of the NBA Finals, running away with a 137-116 victory. A simply amazing offensive display by the Cavaliers garnered them their first win of the series and of course ended the Warriors' opportunity for a 16-0 playoff run.
Still, the Warriors own the 3-1 series edge and the Westgate Las Vegas Super Book is posting them as -2000 favorites in this series with a buyback of +1000 on the Cavaliers. One can argue this series has taken on the eerie feel of last year's blown Warriors 3-1 series lead, but the Cavaliers will face a much more daunting task than their rally from last June.
