The Warriors already are without Kevin Durant. They lost a key contributor, Kevon Looney, to a fractured collarbone. And Klay Thompson is hampered by an injury, too.
Golden State's shooting guard is questionable for Wednesday night's Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors. No matter what Thompson's status is, though, 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.

Former NBA All-Star Antoine Walker, who appeared on FS1's First Things First, also is going with the Raptors.
Thompson left the Warriors' Game 2 win in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury. Bayless praised Thompson 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 it used to enjoy.

While they know they can't risk further injury to Thompson, the Warriors certainly are better with him on the court. He's one of the best shooters in NBA history, and he 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.
