Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors. The NBA Playoff Pick for Game 2 of the Finals is the Toronto Raptors -2.5. Warriors SF Kevin Durant will still be out in Game 2, according to Head Coach Steve Kerr, while PF DeMarcus Cousins is limping on court in Game 1. The Warriors did not experience a 0-2 position ever in the playoff rounds and needs to be aggressive in their defense in Game 2 to survive this contest. I’ll still go with the Raptors for their bench contributions and 3 point scoring prowess that will end up in a predicted score of 115-108.
