This is a 1* Free Play on the Golden State Warriors.

We had the "over" in Game 1 as our official (paid) play, and we also gave out the Cavaliers as a free selection. In Game 2 though we expect the Warriors to pull away for the comfortable cover against this now dejected Cavaliers side. We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. This particular play is based primarily on common sense and strong/relevant ATS stats. LeBron James and company gave it their best shot in Game 1, but it still wasn't enough, as a combination of bad luck and bad refereeing would be their downfall. The Warriors can now smell the blood in the water and we think they'll deliver another deadly upper-cut in Game 2. Note that the Cavs are a poor 7-18 ATS already this year after a loss by ten points or more, while Golden State is still 20-16 ATS in its last 36 when leading in a playoff series. Consider the WARRIORS in Game 2.
