For the fourth postseason in a row, we are left with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. Cleveland advanced after needing seven games to beat Indiana, sweeping Toronto, and then needing seven games to eliminate a Boston team missing its two best players. Golden State eliminated San Antonio in five games and then did the same thing to a plucky New Orleans crew, and then knocked out Houston in seven games, thanks in part to Rockets guard Chris Paul missing Games Six and Seven due to a hamstring injury. Can the Cavaliers post an epic upset and beat the loaded Warriors? Or will the Warriors overcome their ennui and hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy? Check out our 2018 NBA Finals betting overview for the championship series.
