The Warriors are already without Kevin Durant. They lost a key contributor in Kevon Looney with a fractuured collarbone. And Klay Thompson is hampered, too.
Golden State's shooting guard is questionable for Wednesday night's Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Raptors. No matter what Thompson's status is, FOX Sports' Skip Bayless believes the Raptors are about to come into the Oracle Arena and beat the Warriors.
"Toronto will win Game 3 at Oakland with or without Klay Thompson," Bayless said Wednesday morning on FS1's Undisputed.

Thompson left the Warriors' 109-104 in Game 2 early with a hamstring injury. Bayless praised him for playing through injuries multiple times on the biggest stage, but the pundit hasn't been convinced the Dubs are superior to Toronto.

One reason the Warriors haven't impressed Bayless is their trend of continually finding themselves in deficits during these playoffs. He also believes Golden State doesn't have the same home-court advantage they used.
The Warriors are 6-2 in the playoffs this year at Oracle Arena. Both losses came in the first round to the Clippers before winning six straight at home.

While they know they can't risk further injury to Thompson, the Warriors are certainly better with him on the court. He's one of the best shooters in NBA history, and can lock up Raptors star forward Kawhi Leonard when needed most.
The Warriors need Klay. Now we wait and see if they will have him in a crucial Game 3 contest.
