The set-up: I had a play on the Warriors on the "money line" in Game 3, laying the larger price for what turned out to be a relatively easy victory in the end. In Game 4 though I'm predicting that the hungry Cavaliers will keep the final score much more competitive and while I wouldn't in fact be completely shocked by an outright upset, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can.

The teams: Golden State comes in averaging 47.9 percent from the floor in the playoffs, but only 35.6 percent from 3-point land. Kevin Durant led the way in the Game 3 win with 43 points, 13 boards and seven assists, while Stephen Curry though had just 11 points. Andre Igoudala would return for his first action of the series and score just eight points in 22 minutes off the bench.

Cleveland is hitting 45.7 percent from the floor in the playoffs and only 33.5 percent from 3-point land. LeBron James predictably led the way in Game 3 with 33 points, ten boards and 11 assists, while Kevin Love did his best with 20 points and 13 boards.

The pick: It's do or die for the Cavaliers. Golden State now has a virtually insurmountable lead in this series and a loss here would change nothing to its odds in accomplishing that. Winning the NBA Championship at home in Game 5 in front of the home town crowd would be pretty sweet. Right? The Cavs though have been embarrassed in this series and I think they are clearly the "hungrier" team tonight. I expect Cleveland's overall desperation to be the difference in this one. Grab the points.
