The fans at Oracle Arena will be expecting a exciting and heated game 7
of the NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State
Warriors when they take their seats on Sunday. This series has been a
series with both hard fought wins and blowouts, and tonights feature has
a chance to be either one. In Game 6 the Cavs held off every run the
Warriors could make in the 3rd and 4th quarter and ending up winning the
game easily. Andrew Bogut being out clearly hurt the Warriors and their
rotations with their subs having to log more minutes than usual.





Oddsmakers currently have the Warriors listed as 5-point favorites versus the Cavaliers, while the game's total is sitting at 208.





In their last action, Golden State was a 115-101 loser on the road
against the Cavaliers. They failed to cover the +2-point spread as
underdogs, while the combined score (216) was profitable news for OVER
bettors.





Cleveland was a 115-101 winner in its last match at home against the
Warriors. They covered the -2-point spread as favorites, while the total
score of 216 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.





Cleveland:

Team record: 72-30 SU,49-51-2 ATS

Cleveland is 15-5 SU in its last 20 games

Cleveland is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games on the road

Cleveland is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games on the road





Golden State:

Team record: 88-17 SU,57-45-3 ATS

Golden State is 6-3 ATS in its last 9 games

Golden State is 17-8 SU in its last 25 games

Golden State is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games at home

It took a record-breaking performance – and Draymond Green's suspension –
but the Cleveland Cavaliers are going home with a chance to tie the NBA
Finals at 3-3. The Cavaliers (+6 away) staved off elimination Monday by
beating the Golden State Warriors 112-97, setting up Game 6 in
Cleveland Thursday night. Tip-off is at 9 PM ET on ABC. Oddsmakers have
the Cavs as 2.5 point favorites and the total is now at 207 after
opening at 208.

Kyrie Irving and LeBron James made history by scoring 41 points each for
the Cavs in Game 5; never before have two teammates reached the
40-point mark in the same game. They were helped by the absence of
Green; he was retroactively charged with a flagrant-1 foul for striking
James in the groin during Game 4, leading to an automatic one-game
suspension for accumulating four flagrant foul points in the playoffs.
Green will return for Game 6 in Cleveland.



Andrew Bogut might not join him. Bogut sprained his left knee Monday
night and had to leave the game after getting in just eight minutes of
action. The Warriors center had an MRI on Tuesday, but we have yet to
receive an update on his status. There's a very good chance Bogut is out
for the season, but Golden State is still –450 at press time to win the
title.

NBA Finals Preview & Free Pick- Cleveland at Golden State Game 1 - Handicappers Hideaway

The 2016 NBA Finals
get underway this Thursday night in a 9 p.m. (ET) tip at Oracle Arena
with Game 1 of a best-of-seven clash between the Cleveland Cavaliers and
the Golden State Warriors. For the second-straight season these two
will meet in the championship round as the top seed in their respective
conference. BetAnySports
has opened the Warriors as 5.5-point home favorites for Game 1 and the
total has been set at 210. The line has inched up to Golden State as a
6-point favorite and the total is now at 210.5.



Cleveland’s route to the NBA Finals was pretty direct with a straight-up
12-2 run while going 9-5 against the spread. Following routine sweeps
of Detroit and Atlanta, it got past No. 2 Toronto in the Eastern
Conference Finals with four wins in six games. The total stayed UNDER or
ended as a PUSH in nine of the Cavaliers’ first 14 postseason games.



You would expect LeBron James to be at the top of the list in points
scored (24.6), but Cleveland has also gotten a strong effort from Kyrie
Irving and Kevin Love during this impressive run. Irving has basically
matched James with 24.3 points per game and Love leads the team in
rebounds (9.6) and he is averaging 17.3 PPG. The Cavaliers averaged
104.3 points in the regular season and that number has climbed to 106.9
points in the playoffs.



Golden State rolled through its first two playoff series against Houston
and Portland in 10 games while going 7-3 ATS on BetAnySports’ closing
line. Following a rare loss at home in Game 1 of the Western Conference
Finals against Oklahoma City, the defending champs dug themselves into a
3-1 hole before responding with a 3-0 run both SU and ATS. The Warriors
are 9-1 SU at home in the postseason with an 8-2 record ATS. The total
has stayed UNDER in six of those 10 home games.



The backcourt duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson deserve a great
deal of the credit for Golden State’s amazing comeback against the
Thunder that clinched return trip to the NBA Finals. These two combined
for 72 points in a 108-101 victory in Game 6 as a three-point road
underdog and in Monday’s 96-88 grinder as a seven-point home favorite
Curry ended the night with a game-high 36 points with Thompson chipping
in another 21 points to the winning cause.



The Cavaliers come into Game 1 well-rested, while Golden State will have
to deal with the physical and mental fatigue of that stunning comeback.
Even with that edge Cleveland may still lose this game SU, I like its
chances to cover with BetAnySports’ 6-point spread.

The Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers meet at Quicken Loans
Arena on Wednesday and the Pistons try to even the series at one-game a
piece.



Oddsmakers currently have the Cavaliers listed as 10½-point favorites versus the Pistons, while the game's total is sitting at 202.



In their last action, Cleveland was a 106-101 winner at home against the
Pistons. They failed to cover the -11-point spread as favorites, while
the combined score (207) was profitable news for OVER bettors.



Last time out for Detroit, they were a 106-101 loser as they battled the
Cavaliers on the road. The Pistons covered in the match as a +11-point
underdog, while 207 combined points moved the game OVER for totals
bettors.



Detroit:

Team record: 44-39 SU,43-37-3 ATS

Detroit is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games

Detroit is 10-5 SU in its last 15 games

NBA Betting: LeBron James and Cavs are Underdogs in Much Anticipated Final - Handicappers Hideaway









LeBron James and Cavs are Underdogs in Much Anticipated Final



The Golden State Warriors broke out as an up and coming Western
Conference contender last season, and this year they’ve dominated the
landscape. Lined up against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in
the finals, the world will watch as the Dubs look to take yet another
step forward.



Bet on basketball at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.



The Warriors are currently pitted as 5.5-point favorites to win Game 1
of the championship. Considering Golden State led the league in wins
this season, boasting a 67-15 record SU and a 47-34-1 record ATS, the
big spread isn’t surprising.



However, James and the Cavs shouldn’t be underestimated. Playing in his
fifth consecutive final, King James is more than capable of taking over
a series. In 14 playoff games so far this postseason the superstar has
posted averages of 27.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 8.3 assists per
game. The Splash Brothers can’t match the individual power of
Cleveland’s prodigal son.



As a team, though, Golden State has blown minds and exceeded
expectations all year. Weigh in on the NBA Finals and tune in to watch
postseason basketball at its best. The total is set at 203 as we go to
press.

BetAnySports’ NBA Finals Pick of the Week - Handicappers Hideaway



Betting on the NBA Finals
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: San Antonio Spurs Gain Steam, Undervalued as Reigning Champs - Handicappers Hideaway

 


The San Antonio Spurs have gathered momentum in the Western Conference
as of late, and they’ll need it if they plan to claw their way to the
top half of the playoff bracket. Although the reigning champion squad
is 9/1 to win another title, they’re seventh place in their conference
as we go to press.



Bet on basketball at Bovada and get a 50% welcome bonus.



This year’s San Antonio roster is similar to the one that beat the Miami
Heat in last year’s championship, but despite their impressive season
record of 39-23, they’re not covering the majority of their matches
(27-33-2 ATS). Having won the West in the past two seasons, the Spurs
often find themselves getting stuck with big spreads.



This year, with power forward Tim Duncan turning 39, the Spurs have
shown splashes of potential. They enjoyed an eight game winning streak
in November and are on a five game winning streak as we go to press.
They won their match against the Chicago Bulls on March 8, covering as a
10-point favorite in San Antonio. Next, they’ll host the Cleveland
Cavaliers at 9:30 PM ET on March 12. Cleveland is 40-25 SU and 31-34
ATS.

NBA Odds: Thursday Night Cavs Debut, the Highlight of Opening Week


Betting on Cavs basketball

With a full slate of games scheduled for the week, the basketball
betting community can officially say goodbye to the NBA offseason. The
smattering of matchups, starting on opening day Tuesday night, will
continue into the weekend but not before the world stops to watch LeBron
James’ triumphant return back to Cleveland on Thursday.



Bet on basketball at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.



Smack in the middle of the week’s festivities, James and the Cavaliers
will play their home opener against the New York Knicks. It’ll be the
King’s first game in a Cavs uniform since the spring before “The
Decision”.



With 5/2 odds of winning the NBA championship this season, Cleveland is a
wildly popular NBA betting option. In addition to James, the franchise
also welcomes league superstar Kevin Love to town for the first time.



The Knicks, in contrast, may struggle to establish themselves as
relevant in the Thursday night clash, but are in a position spoil James’
return. Carmelo Anthony and James have been friends and rivals since
high school, so you know the former will accept the challenge.



Don’t sleep on Anthony’s Knicks. Their 50/1 NBA futures may leave much
to be desired but they have just enough talent to spoil Cleveland’s
opening night fun.

Odds to Win the 2014-15 NBA MVP Award, Rookie of the Year, Scoring Title and More….


Betting on Lebron James returning to Cleveland

“In what would have been a two way race for MVP once again,
Durant’s injury has moved LeBron James to the odds on favorite at 5/6.
Oklahoma City will still be up there with the frontrunners in odds to
win the championship, but losing Durant for the beginning of the season
will surely hinder their chances going from 5/1 to 7/1 and making the
Spurs the clear favorites out of the West at 7/2. The Thunder pre-injury
had the highest posted win total of 57.5 and it has since dropped down
to 52.5.”

The Impact of Kevin Durant’s Injury Heading into 2014-2015


Betting on OKC Thunder Basketball

There are few things that can shake NBA odds like an injury to a
world class player. Basketball fans saw exactly that over the weekend as
it was announced that Kevin Durant would miss as many as 10 weeks
recovering from a fracture in his foot. Don’t be surprised if Oklahoma
City supporters are suddenly less optimistic.

Durant was last year’s MVP, and without him, the Thunder will lose an
imposing two-way threat that averaged 32.0 PPG, 7.4 RPG and 5.5 APG.
Suffice it to say, oddsmakers are taking precaution to ensure the
franchise is valued accurately heading into the season. They are
currently 7/1 to win the championship.



On one hand, Durant’s injury makes the Thunder far less appealing on the
NBA futures market. On the other hand, the superstar could be back in
the line up as soon as early December, bringing great value to anyone
who took the longer odds.



One thing to pay attention to during Durant’s time on the mend is how
his teammates step up. Russell Westbrook made a case for himself as one
of the league’s best No. 2 options, but that doesn’t always translate
into success in the No. 1 spot.



It’s hard to say for sure what to make of the Oklahoma City Thunder as a
basketball betting option. Perhaps we’ll find out what they’re truly
made of with Durant on the sidelines.

NBA Odds: Instant Underdog Miami Makes for Compelling Betting Option


Betting on the 2015 NBA Rookie Seasons


Newton’s Third Law reveals that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When


it comes to betting on the NBA, such an observation is worth repeating. Everybody under the sun


has discussed how the addition of LeBron James to the Cleveland Cavaliers makes the franchise a


legitimate title contender, but we shouldn’t dismiss how the rest of the league is reacting.

While the Cavs have shot up to the top of the sportsbook (3/1 to win the NBA championship), the


Miami Heat, who reigned supreme there up until the day of the Decision, has fallen down the list.


The Heat managed to retain Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade while adding solid fringe stars like Luol


Deng and Josh McRoberts, but is that enough for basketball fans to take a wager on the team’s 25/1


odds of going all the way?


The offseason definitely wasn’t a success in South Beach, but the team shouldn’t be ruled out as


an Eastern Conference contender. Consider them a team in limbo while the landscape of the league


readjusts in 2014-2015. Take advantage of the uncertainty by betting on the NBA before the dust


settles.

NBA Odds: King James Returns and Pushes Cavs to Front of Sportsbook


Betting on Lebron James returning to Cleveland

A wild NBA offseason has permanently altered the basketball betting
landscape. For proof, look no further than the top of the NBA futures
where the Cleveland Cavaliers sit, despite having no more than 33 wins
in the past four seasons. Why is that? Two words: LeBron James.

When James decided to take his talents to the shore of Lake Erie, the
NBA’s shape changed. Suddenly the prodigal son is going home, and his
first official employer is now back in the mix to contend for the title.


The Cavaliers are 15/4 to win the NBA championship, which gives you
an idea of what oddsmakers think of the new Cleveland roster. James’
supporting cast includes former Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving and the
No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, Andrew Wiggins.


Has the King matured enough to lead the Cavs further than before? Can
he fend off the reigning champion San Antonio Spurs? Even the revamped
Chicago Bulls, with whom they share an NBA Central Division, will pose a
threat. The 2014-2015 season can’t come soon enough.

Lebron James Futures and Prop Bets


Betting on Lebron James returning to Cleveland

Here are the updated odds and props now that LeBron Signed with Cleveland.


“There is no question that with the recent news of Lebron going back
home to Cleveland that they are the favorites for next season to take it
all at 4-1. With the Eastern Conference being much weaker and
essentially only a handful of teams that can give Lebron and the Cavs a
run for their money would be a shock if they do not at least make the
Conference Finals. The Heat in turn, who now may lose Bosh also, have
gone from 4-1 to 50-1, basically the Cavs and Heat flipping odds from
what we had them the day after the Spurs won the Championship. This
shows how much of an impact a player like Lebron has on odds, the last
comparable situation was Peyton Manning going to the Broncos dropped
them from 75-1 to 10-1 in a blink of an eye.”
