Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors Predictions 5/30/2019

The Raptors had there much needed rest after eliminating the Milwaukee Bucks to a score of 100-94 in Game 6 to clinch the Eastern Conference Championship Title at the Scotiabank Arena. The Raptors were trailing by as much as 15 points in the third when they made their game altering 26-3 run from that frame. PG Kawhi Leonard delivered 27 points and 17 rebounds including the punctuating massive dunk over the Greek Freak with 6:46 left in regulation from Lowry’s steal. PF Pascal Siakam followed with 18 points, PG Kyle Lowry had 17 while PG Fred Van Vleet contributed 14 points to help Toronto claim the Eastern Conference overall victory.

Toronto is hungry and sharpened its claws and fangs with 114.4 ppg at 47.4% from the field while restraining playoff rivals at 99.6 ppg. The Raptors pounded 45.2 rebounds, 25.4 assists, 5.3 blocks, and 8.3 steals per outing. Leonard is the highest scorer of the Raptors with 26.6 ppg, 49.6% in FG shooting, and 85.4% from the free throw line. The triad teamwork of PG Fred Van Vleet , PF Serge Ibaka, and PG Norman Powell made the impact of turning around Games 4 to 6 wherein they combined a score of 35.5 ppg with Van Vleet converting 14 of 17 three pointers in their last 3 matches against the Bucks.

Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors. The NBA Playoff Pick for Game 1 of the Finals is the Toronto Raptors -2.5. Warriors SF Kevin Durant is out in Game 1 while PF DeMarcus Cousins is questionable to play in this match. Three-point shooting will be key to this matches outcome. The Raptors are not far from this statistic as the Warriors are already cut above everyone else. My take on this match is for the Raptors to win in a high scoring match predicted at 112-108.
