With a pivotal Game 4 between the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors slated for Friday, we dive into the best bets and player props to consider.

Line: Warriors -4.5
Total: 215

We were only partly correct when predicting Toronto would come out swinging in the first half of Game 3 - the Raptors delivered clutch shots the entire game en route to a resounding 14-point win on the road to take a 2-1 series lead.

For all the missed opportunities in Game 2, Toronto made amends on Wednesday. The Raptors shot 52.4 percent from the field and converted 17-of-38 attempts from deep, capitalizing with both Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson on the sideline. The former's already been ruled out for Game 4, but the latter will be back in the fray. The Warriors hit as high as -5.5 but have since settled to -4.5 with their injuries starting to sort out.

Golden State is typically the offense that can get hot, drill low-percentage shots with ease, and completely deflate an opponent. It was unconventional to watch the Dubs flip roles in Game 3 as the Raptors seemed to make every shot when they needed it. Thompson's impact on the floor plays second fiddle to Durant no matter how you slice it; nonetheless, his presence on the court in a do-or-die situation has us leaning to laying the points with Golden State.

Klay Thompson Over/Under 2.5 made 3-pointers

Thompson was huge in spurring Golden State's Game 2 comeback, putting up 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the floor to go along with four triples. If his hamstring holds up, this could be your best prop bet of the night - Thompson has hit three or more attempts from deep in three of four meetings against Toronto this season. Meanwhile, he's gone over this number in seven of the last eight overall.

Danny Green Over/Under 8.5 points

Green's coming off his best performance of the postseason, drilling six 3-pointers over roughly 27 minutes of action. This number might appear low on the surface, but the veteran guard has still scored nine or fewer points in nine of his last 11 games.

Draymond Green to record a double-double

You'll pay roughly 1-2 on Green to record a double-double, but this is a good spot to buy back after he failed to produce one in Game 3. Green has been lights out since the start of the Portland series, scoring in double figures in each game while registering six double-doubles over the last seven.
