Best Bet
While the Golden State Warriors have usually struggled on ring ceremony nights of the past, there’s a chance they have something to prove on Tuesday night. After the viral altercation between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole, everyone will be watching to see if the signature oncourt chemistry of the Warriors begins to show cracks. A clean performance in front of a primetime audience to open the season will quickly make fans forget about their preseason fallout.
Pair that with Golden State’s continuity from last season’s roster that won a championship makes Warriors -7 look like the best bet on the board.
