2015 NBA Finals: Game 6 - Warriors at Cavs
11 NBA Finals have been tied at 2-2 since 1985 - the winner of Game 5 won the title in seven of those 11 matchups. The Warriors cruised to a 104-91 home victory Sunday night in Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead, covering the 9.5-point spread. Can the Golden State Warriors close out the NBA Finals Tuesday night in Cleveland?
AccuScore has the Cavaliers as slight 53 percent favorites to win Game 6. The average score after AccuScore ran its 10,000-plus simulations is 94.8 - 94.7, with the slight edge actually going to the Warriors.
The slight discrepancy comes from the Warriors having a slightly higher probability at a big win (10 points or more), as opposed to the Cavaliers having a higher chance at a close win (4 points or fewer).
AccuScore Best Bet: There's nearly a 64 percent chance the Cavaliers cover a +4.5 spread.
Cleveland is 5-1 SU and 3-3 ATS over its last six home games. Golden State is 4-2 SU and ATS over its last six road games.
