Why Toronto Raptors are a good bet to win at +2 ½?

The reason for Toronto’s loss? They shot 25% from three. The Raptors went 8-of-32 from behind the arc. If Toronto shoots better from the three-point line on Thursday night, they will have a chance to beat the Warriors straight up and win the NBA Championship.

Raptors vs Warriors NBA Finals Game 6 Betting Analysis
The Golden State Warriors showed a lot of grit to get the victory in Game 5. The Warriors now have a chance to even the series in the final NBA game at Oracle Arena. Can Golden State do it?
They can, but there’s a strange trend that has developed in this series. While Toronto was horrible from the three-point line in Game 5, they were devastating from three in the first game, and decent enough from three in the second game at Golden State.
Toronto shot 44.7% from three, 17-of-38, in the Game 3 win. In the Game 4 win, they shot 31.2%. Kawhi Leonard went 5-of-9 from downtown in the Game 4 victory. If the Raptors can get back on track with their three-pointers, they should beat Golden State because that will open up the middle. Toronto is the play on the moneyline. They’ll win the NBA Championship on Thursday night.
