Golden State got a loss last night in a game that could have been the Finals preview. With Stephen Curry scoring 18 points, but only 6 after the first quarter and Lebron James scoring 42 points, there was just no way how teh Warriors could have won that game. What it means for today is that the Warriors will be extra motivated to wash away the shame and Curry will probably have above the average performance. Why? Because good teams bounce back right away and good players usually have good performances after bad nights and the Warriors and Curry fall into both categories.
Meeting the Raptors will help the Warriors as they will play a team that has been struggling as of late. In fact their 4-game run against the Western Conference teams is currently at 0-3 (losses against HOU, NOP and DAL).What makes it worse is the fact that neither of these 3 teams played at their full strength. HOU didn`t have Howard, NOP did not have Davis and Anderson and DAL had Rondo playing only for 18 minutes. Reasons for the Raptors recent struggles are obvious. DeRozan and Lowry have fallen in love with their jump shots, the team lacks chemistry and starters often play worse than the bench. Against the Warriors that is a receipt for disaster.
Golden State did beat the Raptors by 21 points in January. With back-to-back and game played in Toronto it should be a bit closer game tonight, but with the Warriors and Curry motivated to play a great game in order to forget last night`s failure the Warriors should still win it. Take GSW -1.0 points @1.952 with 3/5 units from Pinnacle.
