The 2017 NBA Finals tips off on Thursday with the Golden St Warriors a relatively big home favorite over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1. The Warriors, though, may have such a talent edge in the game that betting them despite having to give points might be the way to go in Game 1. Professional handicapper Troy West from TroyWins.com discusses the betting odds for Game 1 in the Cavaliers vs Warriors series with SBR Videos host Peter Loshak.
