Game 4 — Saturday, June 8 at 02:00 BST
Golden State 1.54 to win
Golden State were stunned in Game 3 but they remain the heavy favourites to win this home game on Saturday morning. Golden State are the Barca or the Mercedes of basketball. They have dominated the competition for years but may have met their match here.

The Raptors have exploited Golden State’s mini injury crisis to great effect — but basketball betting fans are expecting a backlash in Game 4.
The problem for Golden State is that star man Kevin Durant is out of Game 4. Klay Thompson will play, which is a boost, but Durant’s absence due to injury is a major blow.
The Raptors picked off Golden State on too many occasions in Game 3 and will aim to do the same in California, especially with Durant’s controlling presence unavailable for the hosts.
Golden State are the favourites but plenty of punters will be backing Toronto here. If they can pull off another hit-and-run style game and capitalise on the slightest Golden State mistake, then the Raptors could well secure victory at 2.63.
All eyes on Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard has most certainly been the signing of the 2018/19 season in the NBA. The 27-year-old quit San Antonio last year and there were rumours he could be traded again before the season was out. But Toronto will be delighted that they managed to keep him!

Leonard has top scored for Toronto in the vast majority of games he has played this season. The 6ft 7in superstar managed a match-winning 30 points in Game 3 and is averaging 29 points per game in the NBA Finals.
The ball usually goes to Leonard when Toronto need something special, but they also have the aggressive Pascal Siakam available to throw three-pointers from anywhere on court.
Leonard is 1.85 to earn over 42.5 points from points, rebounds and assists in Game 4. That is an excellent price for a player who not only scores where he likes, but is smart enough to find team-mates too.
Steph Curry is also 1.85 to record over 44.5 combined points — a very achievable total considering he scored 47 points from his own hands in Game 3.
Odds swing in Raptors favour
For those who still think Golden State can win the NBA Finals, this is the perfect time to back them. That’s because the Warriors’ price has skyrocketed to 2.06 to win the championship following their Game 3 defeat.
Competing no matter what.

Experienced NBA live stream and betting fans will know that you never write off the Warriors. And at this price, they are a very tempting bet.
Toronto do have home advantage in Game 7 of this series, which is why 1.78 on the Raptors to claim an unlikely championship is also a reasonable price if you think they can stave off the class of the Warriors.
Game 4 is crucial to where this series will finish. It’s not to be missed.
