LAS VEGAS -- Game 7 of the NBA Finals is on Sunday night (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ABC), and it's pretty amazing how we've reached this point in the series.
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors 115-101 on Thursday night to force a winner-take-all Game 7. Of course, here at ESPN Chalk, we're just as concerned with the betting results. The Cavaliers didn't just win outright, they also covered as 2-point home favorites, and the game went over the total of 207.5.
Both teams are 3-3 SU & ATS in the series, as every game has been won by double digits. The home teams/favorites have gone 4-2 SU and ATS, as the only times the underdogs have covered (and ultimately won outright) were the Warriors at Cleveland in Game 4 and the Cavaliers at Golden State in Game 5. Unders lead 3-2-1, with the push coming in Game 5 (though that was, to be fair, against the closing line; more bettors cashed with the over, so some people might grade the over/unders at 3-3).
