We are back with another edition of Livi’s Locks. The goal is to help you find those pesky DFS plays who are underpriced but will overperform on any given night.
Welcome to another edition of Cap’n Kielar’s Best Bets! Yesterday was not a bad one, as I went 3-2. Let’s see if we can have another good day with an NBA pick and one from college basketball.
Coming into the 2020-21 NBA season, ESPN’s official power rankings listed the Golden State Warriors as the 13th best team in the NBA. Whether or not Steph Curry and the new-look Warriors saw the rankings, their energy and performance in training camp indicate that they will perform better than 13th.
Could we see a renaissance of the Warriors in 2021? Patrick Champion takes a crack at answering this question.
Is he worthy of the big paycheck? Did he sign it too soon?
It’s hard to believe that it has already been three years. This day three years ago, the Cleveland Cavaliers finished the 3-1 comeback against the 73-win Golden State Warriors to win not only the first Championship in franchise history, but Cleveland’s first championship in 52 years.
Eleven months ago, in an article detailing why the Boston Celtics were the favorites for the 2019 NBA title, I labeled the Golden State Warriors; dynasty as ‘fragile’. While my praise of the Celtics proved to be excessive (I wasn’t the only one), this description of the Warriors’ dominance proved to be correct, although I did not envisage it being a literal one.
The Golden State Warriors fought off a feisty Houston Rockets team in six games while the Portland Trail Blazers used their shooting to get past the Nuggets in seven games to get to the Western Conference Finals. Injuries have opened up this series and it may be closer than initially thought. Both teams are capable of putting up offensive fireworks giving them both a shot at the NBA Finals, here’s a look at how.
The Golden State Warriors have made it to the finals for four straight seasons, looking to extend that to five straight, this season.
Last year, the Golden State Warriors needed a Chris Paul injury in order to eke out a Western Conference Finals victory against Houston in seven games. This year, they showed weakness in a first-round series for the first time in recent memory – needing six games to advance past their first-round opponent for the first time in the Steve Kerr era. Meanwhile, James Harden is heavily involved in the MVP conversation for the fourth time in the last five years after putting up historic numbers and his team finished their first-round series against Utah in a convincing five games. Yet none of that seems to matter.
You can barely go five minutes without coming across a story or a report addressing the New Orleans Pelicans-Anthony Davis
We thought this season was already over. Prior to last night, the Golden State Warriors had looked unstoppable, going 13-1 in their last 14 games, and had been even more dominant (if that’s possible) than usual over the last month. Stephen Curry is a making a charge for MVP. Kevin Durant has been so unerringly consistent that the NBA world seems to have forgotten that he is having another sensational year. Klay Thompson can score 50 points while barely dribbling the basketball. They perhaps lacked a little depth and were vulnerable at center, but the small matter DeMarcus Cousins’ has solved that issue emphatically. In short, Golden State seemed a lock for the title.
