Devon Platana writes: "After winning back-to-back contests, I expect the Warriors to close out the Celtics in Game 6. Golden State is the all-around better team and I expected a bounce-back performance from Curry to help them secure an NBA Finals victory. As for the best bets, I’m taking the Warriors at +145 on the moneyline on Caesars Sportsbook as it offers the best value, as well as the total hitting over 210 points because of the added pressure that comes from an elimination game."
