BetAnySports’ NBA Finals Pick of the Week - Handicappers Hideaway

BetAnySports’ NBA Finals Pick of the Week


Game 1- Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors


BAS’ Current Line: Warriors are 5 1/2-point favorites and the total is sitting at 202 1/2.


The matchup for this season’s best-of-seven NBA Finals has been set
and starting this Thursday night at the ORACLE Arena, the Eastern
Conference Champion Cleveland Cavaliers will begin their quest for a
world title as 5.5-point road underdogs against the Western Conference
Champion Golden State Warriors. BetAnySports has set the betting odds for the total in Game 1 at 202.5.


The NBA betting odds for the series price in this showdown have the
Cavaliers listed as +185 underdogs with Golden State set as a -225
favorite. If Cleveland is going to pull-off the upset it will need a
healthy Kyrie Irving back in the lineup as well as the continued
elevated play of LeBron James. He has done it all for the Cavaliers
through their first three playoff series against Boston, Chicago and
Atlanta with a team-high 27.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 8.3 assists.


During this 14-game run, Cleveland went 12-2 straight-up, but just
8-6 against the spread. It has covered in four of its last five games
including a 3-1 record ATS in a four-game sweep of the Hawks in the
conference finals. The total has stayed UNDER in eight of the 14 games.


Golden State still has two players listed on its current injury
report. Klay Thompson is listed as probable for Game 1 after suffering a
concussion against Houston in the conference finals, but center
Marreese Speights remains questionable after missing his last eight
games with a bad calf. As long as league MVP Stephen Curry stays healthy
his team should remain favored to win it all. He has led the way with
29.2 points per game and a team-high 6.4 assists. Curry has shot 43.7
percent from three-point range in the postseason.


The Warriors’ run to the Finals included series victories against New
Orleans, Memphis and the Rockets while going 12-3 SU. Betting on Golden
State in these playoffs has been a bit tricky with a 7-8 record ATS. It
has failed to cover in five of its eight games played at home and the
total has stayed UNDER in 11 of the 15 games overall.


Look for Golden State to draw first blood in this series with a SU
win on Thursday night, but I am going with Cleveland in Game 1 to keep
things close enough to cover with the 5.5 points on BetAnySports’
current betting odds.

NBA Odds: Top-Seeded Hawks Anything But Favorites In Eastern Conference Final - Handicappers Hideaway

NBA Odds







The top-ranked in the Eastern Conference will take on the prohibitive
season-long favorite this week as the No. 1 seed Atlanta Hawks play
host to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite starting the
series on the road, it’s the King’s Cavs that lead the pair with 13/5
odds of winning the NBA championship.

After showing signs of mortality against both the Brooklyn Nets and
Washington Wizards, the Hawks are a far cry from the unstoppable force
that they were partway through the season. Since then, their opponents
have started to take form.





Even without the injured Kevin Love, the Cavaliers have dispatched
both the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics thanks largely in part to
their franchise icon and hometown boy. The Bulls, of course, were a
legitimate conference threat that could have just as easily been
handpicked for a spot in the Finals, making Cleveland’s success last
week all the more impressive.





With 9/1 odds on the NBA futures, the Hawks are a long-shot in the
sportsbook. That doesn’t mean that they can’t still deal damage on a
game-to-game basis though. Not only did Atlanta lead the East in wins,
they did so with a 50-30-2 record against the spread.
