Joe’s Pick to Cover the Spread

Heading into game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors are the heavy favorites to pick up the win. In game 4, Dallas was able to extend the series in large part to their 3 point shooting, as they hit 20 shots from downtown compared to just 10 for Golden State. However, I don’t see this type of discrepancy happening again, as the Warriors should return to form at home. Look for Golden State to close things out in game 5, punching their ticket to the NBA Finals. I like the Warriors -7.
