Even if Klay Thompson plays, he might not be real effective. Grab the points with a Raptors team that has won one or more road games in every playoff series thus far.
No Kevin Durant tonight, and Klay Thompson is banged up with a hamstring injury but should still play. But how about the addition of DeMarcus Cousins? He started and played 27 minutes in Game 2, and while his offense may still be rusty, it's his rebounding that gives the Warriors a boost in their rating, making this number cheap. I'm on the Warriors.

As the series continues, the pace slows down and the defense makes adjustments to the opponent's offensive game plan. Toronto's defense has been No. 1 during the playoffs in points per possession. With Klay Thompson not 100 percent and Steph Curry rumored to be struggling with an illness, the most efficient scorers the Warriors have could be in for a long night. Take the Under in Game 3 on Wednesday.
This is a tough one to call with the uncertainty surrounding Golden State guard Klay Thompson and his hamstring injury. It appears that he’s going to try and play, but who knows for how long or how effective he will be when he is on the floor. With that being said, the Warriors' DeMarcus Cousins emerged in Game 2 and should be a big presence in the middle once again with Golden State now getting to play its first game of the series at home. I’ll take the Warriors to win and cover.
Klay Thompson's status is up in the air as he deals with a hamstring, but I'm expecting he'll play. If he'd been sitting out of practice I'd be more skeptical. Either way, I'm expecting a Stephen Curry game, and on the road the Raptors will need Kawhi to do everything to get a win in this game. He's capable of doing it, yes, but I don't like the odds of it happening. Not against the Warriors.
