“Avengers”? “Game of Thrones”? Millions of viewers are watching those movie and cable TV franchises, but I find the Warriors-Rockets series to be the best entertainment option of all. This is true reality TV.

Golden State won the first two episodes in the best-of-seven series at home but then lost the next two in Houston. The Warriors took a 3-2 lead on Wednesday night, but the latest plot twist was when Kevin Durant suffered an injury to his right leg in the third quarter and limped to the locker room.

The Rockets opened as 7¹/₂ -point home favorites for Game 6 at William Hill books in New Jersey and Nevada as well as several other books in Las Vegas. That’s an over-adjustment and, for me, it flips the script on where the betting value lies the rest of the series. We can debate how many points Durant is worth to the point spread, but you can’t convince me it’s seven points (from around pick ’em to Rockets -7).

The play: Warriors +7 in Game 6.
