Joe’s Pick to Cover the Spread

The Golden State Warriors come into game 2 of this Western Conference playoff series, having already picked up an impressive win in game 1. Even though Golden State trailed throughout the first half and dealt with losing Draymond Green to an ejection, the team used a 36-point 3rd quarter to take the lead. It appears that even when facing adversity, a veteran Warriors group won’t be rattled in their pursuit of a trip to the finals. Look for Golden State to pick up yet another win, taking a 2-0 series lead. I recommend GSW ATS. Bankroll running low? Fix that problem with a 100% real cash bonus!
