The Cavaliers opened as 1-point favorites for Game 3 of the NBA Finals moments after their overtime win in Game 2, but early action moved the line in the Warriors' direction. By Monday around noon ET, the new point spread at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook had Golden State -1.
The total has seen a drastic adjustment from Game 1’s 204. The series opener needed overtime to get OVER (it was tied 98-98 after regulation), and Game 2 stayed UNDER 199 despite going into OT. So, yes, the pace of both games so far has been dead UNDER, and the Game 3 number opened 194.5.

UNDER bettors were victimized by a bad beat in Game 1, and so too were Cavs backers, as Cleveland was a 6-point underdog with a chance to win with the last shot in regulation. With Kyrie Irving out for Game 2, the line for Sunday night’s tilt inched up to -8 before Cleveland money pulled it back to the 7, 7.5 range before tipoff. There were no such bad beats in Game 2, as the Cavs won outright and the game failed to exceed the total.
The series price reopened Warriors -220/Cavaliers +190 at the SuperBook and was moved to Warriors -240/Cavs +200. Those prices are in the range of where the series was being dealt before it began. After Golden State took a 1-0 lead and Cleveland lost Kyrie, the odds were adjusted to Warriors -450/Cavs +375.
