Pascal’s wager: Bet on Toronto and hope Siakam plays like a god.
That worked for Raptors backers in Thursday night’s series opener in the NBA Finals against the Warriors. Pascal Siakam scored 32 points on 14-of-17 shooting, a surprising X-factor leading Toronto to a 118-109 victory as a 2-point favorite.
Granting that it isn’t smart for bettors to ask any individual to continue playing over his head, the Raptors are deep with role players who are capable of taking a bite out of opponents with little warning (ask Milwaukee about Fred VanVleet).
