NBA Finals 2017: Warriors vs. Cavaliers Game 1 live stream: Watch online
By John Buhler
Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Finals between the No. 2 Cavaliers and the No. 1 Warriors will be on Thursday, June 1. Tipoff from Oracle Arena in Oakland will be at 9:00 p.m. ET, 6:00 p.m. local time. ABC will have the national broadcast. The available live streams can be found on WatchESPN and FuboTV.
According to OddsShark.com, the Warriors will be laying seven points at home to the visiting Cavaliers in Game 1. The associated moneylines for Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Finals are Golden State -290 and Cleveland +275. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 225.5 points.
Don’t let the No. 2 seed fool you. The Cavaliers were easily the best team in the Eastern Conference. They might have taken a few nights off during the regular season, but Playoff LeBron is ready to go to work. Cleveland has to win at least one game in Oakland to repeat as NBA Champions.
All the pressure is on the Warriors in this best-of-seven series. While they have been the best regular season team ever assembled over a three-year period, one win in three tries just doesn’t cut it. No player faces more pressure than Durant, who left an NBA Finals contender in the Oklahoma City Thunder to join this juggernaut Warriors team. If he and the Warriors don’t win, the internet might explode.

Can Golden State use its home-court advantage to make sure Game 1 goes to the Warriors? Will Cleveland be able to steal a win/taco for America with an upset victory in raucous Oracle Arena on Thursday night? We like high-octane playoff basketball, but we also love tacos.
