NBA Western Conference Final Game 7 betting preview and odds: Warriors at Rockets

For only the second-time in the NBA playoffs since 1990 there will be a home underdog in Game 7 of a series.

Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets (+6, 209)

Series tied 3-3.

The Golden State Warriors found the form that made them NBA champions in the second half Saturday and used it to run away with a win and force a Game 7 in the Western Conference finals. The Warriors will try to carry that momentum on the road and earn their fourth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals when they visit the Houston Rockets Monday.

The Rockets jumped out to a 39-22 lead after the first quarter in Game 6 and held a 61-51 edge at the break only to score 25 points in the second half and suffer a 115-86 setback as Golden State exploded behind Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry. "We'd like to get off to a better start," Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters. "But we like -- we like our formula. We like our defense against these guys, and we feel confident that we can carry this through to Game 7 on the road and continue to make things as difficult as possible on Houston without fouling." Houston is confident heading home despite the beating it took in the second half on Saturday and the uncertainty surrounding the health of point guard Chris Paul. "If you asked us when we were in the Bahamas this summer, this team together, you know, Western Conference Finals, Game 7 to go to the finals against the Warriors, we'll take that," Rockets star James Harden told reporters. "So, nothing changes for us. We know what we have to do."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE HISTORY: The Warriors opened as 5-point road favorites for Game 7 and as of Sunday night that number is up to 6. The total hit betting boards at 210 and is down slightly to 209.

WHAT SHARPS SAY: "For only the second-time in the NBA playoffs since 1990 there will be a home underdog in Game 7 of a series. It’s what happens when you take on the defending champion Golden State Warriors sans the services of injured All Star PG Chris Paul. Nonetheless, look for defense to prevail in another exciting Game 7 showdown." - Marc Lawrence.

INJURY REPORT:

Warriors - SF A. Iguodala (Questionable, Leg), SF C. Boucher (Out Indefinitely, Ankle).

Rockets - PG C. Paul (Questionable, Hamstring).

MATCHUP CHART:



ABOUT THE WARRIORS (69-29 SU, 42-55-1 ATS, 44-53-1 O/U): Thompson finished with 35 points and went 9-of-14 from 3-point range in Game 6 as Golden State started to push the pace and move the ball. "I feel like we're the best team in the world and most fun team in the world to watch when we're pushing that ball, getting defensive stops and making plays," Thompson told reporters. "We've got too much talent not just to hit singles like coach always says. Trust the next man ahead of us. It will end up working in our favor most of the time." Thompson added four steals to his performance and his teammates credited his work on Harden at the defensive end for sparking the offense.

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (76-22 SU, 50-47-1 ATS, 39-58-1 O/U): Paul sat out Game 6 with a hamstring injury suffered in the final minute of Game 5 and remains uncertain for Game 7. Houston committed 21 turnovers without their point guard on the floor in Game 6, including nine by Harden, who finished with 32 points and nine assists but continued a trend of poor shooting from beyond the arc with a 4-of-12 effort. "There's no pressure," Harden told reporters of Game 7. "It's an opportunity, though, an opportunity that we all are excited to be a part of. Game 7 at our house. That's what we worked the entire regular season for, is homecourt advantage. We're going to come out and we're going to be ready."

TRENDS:

* Warriors are 5-17 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win.
* Rockets are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 vs. NBA Pacific.
* Under is 5-1 in Warriors' last 6 road games.
* Under is 16-5 in Rockets' last 21 vs. NBA Pacific.
* Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

CONSENSUS:

57 percent of pointspread bets are on the Houston Rockets while 66 percent of totals wagers are on the Over.

NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 1 betting preview and odds: Capitals at Golden Knights

Washington Capitals at Vegas Golden Knights (-145, 5.5)

Series tied 0-0.

The Vegas Golden Knights started their inaugural season looking to be competitive and could end it with a championship as they host the Washington Capitals on Monday night for Game 1 of the best-of-seven Stanley Cup finals. The Golden Knights needed only 15 games to dispatch Los Angeles, San Jose and Winnipeg in the Western Conference playoffs to give themselves seven days off before facing the Alex Ovechkin-led Capitals.

Veteran goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who has a .947 save percentage in the playoffs, leads the way for Vegas while Jonathan Marchessault boasts eight goals to along with 18 points in the postseason and told NHL.com: “We’re on a mission. Nobody is going to stand in front of us.” Washington, which dropped both meetings with the Golden Knights in the regular season, is the last obstacle as the Capitals make their first appearance in the finals since 1998 while seeking their first Cup after losing in the second round of the playoffs as the Presidents’ Trophy winners in 2016 and 2017. Washington lost the first two games of the playoffs at home before beating Columbus in six contests, eliminated its nemesis Pittsburgh and won at Tampa Bay in Game 7 on Wednesday to reach the finals in the 13th season for seven-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner Ovechkin (607 goals). “I think our group here really understands what it means to be a team and how to win,” Capitals goalie Braden Holtby told reporters. “Maybe in the past we’ve had more skill or been better on paper or whatever. But this team, everyone knows their role and everyone wants to pitch in and everyone is comfortable with each other. I haven’t been on a team like this where, in any situation, we’re confident.”

ABOUT THE CAPITALS (61-31-8-1, 53-43 O/U): Ovechkin boasts career highs of 12 goals and 22 points in the playoffs after scoring the winner in Game 7 on Wednesday and Washington general manager Brian MacLellan told reporters: “This is the most systematic he’s played throughout his career.” The 32-year-old gets plenty of help from fellow Russian Evgeny Kuznetsov, who has a franchise-record 24 playoff points this season and owns at least one in 10 straight contests (six goals). Defenseman Brooks Orpik is the only Washington player with Stanley Cup finals experience and the 37-year-old is having his best career postseason with three assists and an NHL-best, plus-15 rating.

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS (63-26-5-3, 47-46 O/U): Fleury won three Stanley Cups with Pittsburgh, including the last two seasons, and veteran forward James Neal reached the finals with Nashville in 2017 to give Vegas two players with plenty of knowledge on this big stage. “I think they’re just, with their experience and presence, they stay calm,” Golden Knights center William Karlsson, who has 13 points in the playoffs after scoring 43 goals in the regular season, told reporters. “I don’t really ask them too much. Just having them around has a calming feeling. That’s enough for me.” Forward Reilly Smith is tied for second in the league during the playoffs with 14 assists.
