I absolutely love the Golden State Warriors as an underdog here in the opener of the NBA Finals. Kevin Durant has been ruled out for this contest, but that doesn't bother me one bit as the rest of the Warriors have stepped up their game since his injury.

They'll also be well rested after sweeping Portland in the Western Conference Finals while Toronto had to battle hard to get past Milwaukee in the East.

The Raptors have played elite defense throughout the postseason, but let's face it: the East is not as good as the West and they have not seen the likes of the Warriors firepower.

We can also note that it's a team with very little experience of big games like this while the Warriors have won three of the last four championships.

10* play on Golden State Warriors.
