The first trilogy in NBA Finals history is upon us, and Las Vegas is showing early favoritism to the Golden State Warriors over the defending champions.
Game 1 takes place at Oracle Arena on June 1, with the Warriors opening as seven-point favorites against the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

The Warriors - undefeated through three rounds after sweeping the Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz, and San Antonio Spurs - are also favored to hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy when it's all said and done.
Golden State and Cleveland split their last two Finals meetings, making this upcoming series a rubber match.
