NBA Championship Odds: Warriors Given a 33% Chance to Win NBA Finals After Game 3 Loss
The Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors split the first two games of this series in San Francisco before the series went back to Boston for Game 3. In the third game, the Celtics came away with a 116-100 victory.
For Boston, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Marcus Smart all went for 20+ points in the game and while Golden State wasn't able to come away with the win, they got a vintage Steph Curry performance.
After the Game 3 loss, what are the NBA Championship odds for the Golden State Warriors? Let's look at the Golden State Warriors NBA Championship odds.

Golden State Warriors NBA Championship Odds
The Golden State Warriors are now +200 or an implied chance of 33.33% to win the NBA Finals according to the NBA Championship odds. Their odds took a dive after falling in Game 3 as expected but by no means does this imply that the series is over. In fact, the last seven times a series was 2-1 after three games, the team that was down 2-1 has won four of those seven times.
For Golden State, the big thing is going to be Steph Curry's health. He was a little banged up in Game 3 and if he is unable to go in Game 4 that would be a major issue. Through three games, Curry has 34, 29, and 31 points which led his team every night.
Another thing going against the Warriors is the issues with the Boston Crowds. Both Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have been critical of the Boston faithful which I'm sure will go over real well in Game 4 on Friday night. Perhaps, the Warriors should look in the mirror rather than worrying about the crowd dropping a few f-bombs.
