Cavs and Warriors lay it all on the line in Game 7 of The Finals tonight on ABC - Handicappers Hideaway

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

NBA Odds: Cavaliers Going Home for Game 6 - Handicappers Hideaway

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 Odds: Cavaliers Going Home for Game 6 - Handicappers Hideaway

NBA Finals Preview & Free Pick- Golden State at Cleveland Game 6 - Handicappers Hideaway

The Golden State Warriors will have their second opportunity to win a
second-straight NBA crown this Thursday night when they square-off
against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of this best-of-seven clash in
the NBA Finals. BetAnySports
has opened the Cavaliers as 2.5-point home favorites to force a Game 7
and the betting line for the total has been set at 208 points. The line
has held steady, but the total has dropped to 207 a few hours from game
time. Tip-off from Quicken Loans Arena is set for 9 p.m. (ET) and the
game will be broadcast nationally on ABC.



The Warriors had only lost once in 12 previous home games in this
season’s playoffs, but they came up short in Monday’s 112-97 loss as
5.5-point favorites on BetAnySports’
closing line. They still hold the 3-2 edge in this series, but now they
will have to try and wrap things up on the road where they have gone a
very pedestrian 4-5 both straight-up and against the spread in nine
previous road games this postseason.



There is a reason why Stephen Curry was the unanimous choice as league
MVP this season. After lighting things up in Game 4 with 38 points while
connecting on seven of his 13 shots from three-point range, he
struggled on Monday night with just five three-point buckets on 14
attempts so as he goes so goes his team. Golden State also missed the
presence of Draymond Green, who was serving a one-game league suspension
in Game 5.



The Cavaliers were able to breathe some new life into this series with
Monday’s win and it was just the second time in the first five games of
this series that they were able to cross the 100-point mark. The total
in that game ended as a PUSH on BetAnySports’ closing 209-point line
after staying UNDER in three of the first four games. Cleveland returns
home with a SU 8-1 record in nine previous playoff games at Quicken
Loans Arena this season while going a profitable 7-2 ATS.



Both LeBron James and Kyrie Irving came up with a huge effort in Game 5
to keep this series alive. James added 16 rebounds and seven assists to
his 41 points on the night, while Irving connected on 17 of his 24 shots
from the field to match James with 41 points as well. Kevin Love
returned to the starting lineup after missing game 4 but he was pretty
much a non-factor with just two points and three rebounds.



Cleveland now has a legitimate shot to take this series the distance
with another win on Thursday night. However, my “best bet” in this game
is the UNDER 207 on BetAnySports’ total line with both sides stepping things up on defense.

NBA Finals Preview & Free Pick- Golden State at Cleveland Game 6 - Handicappers Hideaway

NBA Finals Preview & Free Pick- Golden State at Cleveland Game 3 - Handicappers Hideaway

The 2016 NBA Finals resume this Wednesday night with the Golden State Warriors going on the
road with a 2-0 series lead as one-point underdogs for Game 3.
BetAnySports has set the total line for this game at 206.5 after it
stayed UNDER in the first two games. Tip-off from Quicken Loans Arena is
set for 9 p.m. (ET) and the game will broadcast nationally on ABC.



Golden State closed as six-point home favorites in each of the first two
games of this series, but it did not really matter how high BetAnySports
set the spread given that the Warriors cruised to a pair of victories
by a combined 48 points. They put up 104 points in Game 1 and 110 in
this past Sunday’s win while holding the Cavaliers to fewer than 90
points each time. The total has now stayed UNDER in seven of their last
nine playoff games.



League MVP Stephen Curry has been somewhat quiet in these first two
matchups while players such as Sean Livingston and Draymond Green have
grabbed the spotlight as the leading scorers. Curry only had 11 points
in the series opener and he posted 18 points on Sunday while going
4-for-8 from three-point range. You get the feeling that he will have to
play a much bigger role to get his team a win on the road.



The Cavaliers rolled through their first three playoff series at 12-2
straight-up while going 9-5 against the spread, but that just shows you
how much of a gap in talent there really is between the Eastern and
Western Conference in the NBA. They went a perfect 7-0 SU on their home
court during this run while going a highly profitable 6-1 ATS. The total
stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in five of those seven games.



It would be hard to place all that much blame on LeBron James for his
team’s early hole given his numbers in those first two contests, but all
this does is hammer home the point that when the Cavaliers do not play
as a complete team they normally lose. They may also lose Kevin Love for
Game 3 after he left Sunday’s loss with a head injury. His status
remains day-to-day.



This could be a great spot to take Cleveland as a slight home favorite with BetAnySports,
but I am not all that thrilled betting against Golden State right now. I
went with the OVER in Game 2 and came up short, but I think both teams
find that scoring touch on Wednesday night so I am going that way again.











NBA Finals Preview & Free Pick- Golden State at Cleveland Game 3 - Handicappers Hideaway

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.

BetAnySports’ NBA Finals Pick of the Week: San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat Game 3

San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat Game 3- Tuesday, June 10


BetAnySports’ Line: Heat -4 1/2 and the Total sits at 197


After these two NBA powers split a pair of games at AT&T Center
to kick-off this year’s rematch in the NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs
and the Miami Heat will be at it again this Tuesday night at
AmericanAirlines Arena for Game 3 of this epic best-of-seven clash.
BetAnySports has opened the Heat as four-point favorites to take the 2-1
series edge and the total for this game has been set at 198.


San Antonio was firing on all cylinders in its 110-95 win in Game 1
as a 5.5-point home favorite, especially in the fourth quarter of that
contest with 36 points. That number was almost cut in half in this past
Sunday’s 98-96 loss as a four-point favorite at home on BetAnySports’
closing betting line. The Spurs shot just 43.9 percent from the field in
that loss after lighting things up with a 58.8 shooting percentage in
Game 1.


Tony Parker leads the team in scoring with 17.5 points per game in
this year’s playoffs and he scored a team-high 21 points in Sunday’s
loss. The Spurs are averaging 106.2 PPG in 20 previous postseason games
while shooting 48.5 percent from the field. They are 6-3 both
straight-up and against the spread in their last nine games and the
total has stayed UNDER in seven of their last 10 contests.


LeBron James caught some major flack for bowing out early in Game 1
with severe leg cramps as the temperature on court exceeded 90 degrees
in light of an air-conditioning failure at the AT&T Center. He
responded in typical fashion by putting up a game-high 35 points while
pulling down 10 rebounds in Sunday’s win. He leads the Heat in points
(27.5), rebounds (6.9) and assists (4.8) in 17 playoff games this year
and his performance on the court from here on in will clearly dictate
whether or not Miami wins its third-straight NBA title.


The Heat are 5-2 both SU and ATS in their last seven games, but when
you narrow things down to their last four playoff games, they are just
2-2 both ways. Sunday’s win improved their record to a perfect 4-0 SU
and ATS in their last four playoff games following a SU loss. The
concern for Tuesday’s game is a 2-5 mark ATS in their last seven game
following a SU win.


Bank on this trend holding true for Game 3. The Heat may still get
the SU win on their home court, but I am taking the Spurs and the 4 1/2
points on BetAnySports’ current NBA betting odds for this game.

BetAnySports’ NBA Finals Pick of the Week: San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat Game 3

NBA Betting: Unlikely Underdog Heat Hit the Road in Finals

After a pair of Conference Finals series that matched those from last
year, basketball fans are in for a rematch of the 2013 NBA Finals as
well. Will the déjà vu give those betting on the NBA an advantage when
they’re picking their winner? The San Antonio Spurs are another year
older, sure, but then again so are the Miami Heat.

In case you haven’t noticed by now, although San Antonio is
constantly written off as too old to contend, they have a tendency to
defy all expectations time and time again. In fact, the experience seems
to have only made them stronger.


According to oddsmakers, despite Miami’s back-to-back titles, the
Spurs are favored to win in 2014 with -125 odds. Have Tim Duncan and the
gang actually improved from the last few seasons? And on that note,
which direction are the Heat trending?


As +105 underdogs, the Heat suddenly have Dwyane Wade’s age to think
about, and the sheer workload of LeBron James. Suddenly San Antonio’s
longevity doesn’t seem to be as much of a factor.


Also favored with a -3.5 spread for Game 1 – scheduled for Thursday –
the time is now for the Spurs to act in the twilight of their stars’
career. Might a championship mark the end of an era for Duncan and the
gang?

NBA Betting: Unlikely Underdog Heat Hit the Road in Finals

BetAnySports’ NBA Playoffs Pick of the Week: Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs Game 1- Thursday, June 5

Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs Game 1- Thursday, June 5


BetAnySports’ Line: Spurs -4 and the Total is 198 1/2


The Miami Heat begin their quest for a third-straight NBA title this
Thursday night against the San Antonio Spurs in a rematch of last
season’s NBA Finals. All the action from the AT&T Center in San
Antonio is slated to get underway at 9 p.m. and the game will be
broadcast nationally on ABC.


The Heat took a fairly short route back to the NBA Finals with a
straight-up record of 12-3 in their first three series against
Charlotte, Brooklyn and Indiana. They have been a solid bet along the
way with a 10-5 record against the spread on BetAnySports’ closing NBA
betting odds for the games. The total went OVER in 11 of the 15 outings.


LeBron James has played like a man possessed in a few of his team’s
dominate victories in the postseason and he leads the team across the
board in points (27.1), rebounds (6.8) and assists (5.0). Dwyane Wade
has been able to stay healthy enough to add another 18.7 points per game
and to round-out the Big Three in Miami, Chris Bosh is scoring 15.2 PPG
and pulling down 5.7 rebounds a game. The Heat are averaging 99.1 PPG
while hitting 49.7 percent of their shots from the field and 39.5
percent from 3-point range.


San Antonio took a slightly longer route to its second straight
appearance in the NBA Finals with a 12-6 SU record in 18 previous
postseason games. It has not been a solid bet at times with a 9-9 record
ATS and the total has gone OVER in 10 of those 18 games. BetAnySports
has opened the Spurs as -130 favorites to win this series with Heat
listed as +110 underdogs, but holding onto that all-important home court
advantage has to start with a win on Thursday night.


Tony Parker has been the Spurs leading scorer in the playoffs with
17.2 PPG, but he is dealing with a sore left ankle that could cost him
some playing time not just in Game 1, but in the entire series if the
pain persists. Tim Duncan continues to be a force in the postseason with
16.5 points and a team-high 8.9 rebounds while Manu Ginobili has been
instrumental in the team’s success with 14.3 points off the bench. San
Antonio is averaging 106.6 PPG while shooting 48.2 percent from the
field and 39.2 percent from beyond the arc.


I see this series going the full seven games just like last season,
but as far as Game 1 goes I am taking the Heat and the 4 points on
BetAnySports’ current betting line. Miami may not get the SU win, but
this one is going down to the wire either way.

NBA Finals Game #5 Preview: Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks

Pointspread: Dallas -3

Over/Under: 186.5

The Miami Heat will look to win their second road game in-a-row this Tuesday night to try and take a commanding 3-1 series lead in Game 4 of their best-of-seven NBA Finals matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on ABC.

Miami was able to preserve an 88-86 win over the Mavericks this past Sunday night as a 2 ½-point road underdog when Dirk Nowitzki?s jumper in the closing seconds missed the mark. The victory raised the Heat?s record to 5-3 on the road in these playoffs both straight-up and against the spread. The total stayed ?under? the 188.5 point total and has now stayed ?under? in five of the eight games.

LeBron James has grabbed most of the headlines for Miami this postseason, but Game 3 was Dwyane Wade?s turn to shine as he poured in a team-high 29 points and pulled down 11 rebounds to lead the way. James finished the night with 17 points and nine assists. The Heat shot 43.6 percent from the floor and outscored Dallas in the paint 40-22.

You cannot fault Nowitzki for Sunday night?s loss as once again he led the team in scoring with 34 points and rebounds with 11. Shawn Merion struggled from the floor shooting 4-for-12 and Mavericks as a whole went 8-for-21 from three-point range. They did have a 42-36 edge in total rebounds and converted on 81.5 percent of their free-throws, but still came up a few points short in the end.

The loss in Game 3 dropped Dallas to 13-5 SU and 13-4-1 ATS. It is 7-2 SU at home this postseason and 6-3 ATS. The total has gone ?over? in five of its nine home games and is 9-8-1 overall, but has stayed ?under? in three of its last four games.

Three games into this series, these teams have had the chance to get to know one another pretty well. This game hinges Miami?s ability to contain Nowitzki and force Dallas into taking bad shots. Once again, things come down to the final buzzer, but this time the Mavericks? all-everything power forward wins the game by draining the final shot.

NBA Finals Betting Preview-Game 4: Miami Heat at Dallas Mavericks

Pointspread: Dallas -3

Over/Under: 187

The 2011 NBA Finals matchup between the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks shifts from the American Airlines Arena in Miami to the American Airlines Center in Dallas this upcoming Sunday for Game 3 with the best-of-seven series knotted at one game apiece. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on ABC.

Miami will spend the next two days trying to figure out how it blew a 15-point lead with less than eight minutes play in a 95-93 loss in Thursday?s Game 2 as a 4.5 point home favorite. The Heat?s collapse was their first loss at home in the playoffs after nine straight wins. They have not been nearly as dominant on the road with a 4-3 record both straight-up and against the spread. The total has stayed ?under? in four of the seven games.

Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 36 points and LeBron James added 20 points, but this series is coming down to a battle of the boards as Miami won the first round 46-36, but was outrebounded 41-30 in Thursday?s meltdown.

Dallas?s dramatic rally raised its overall record in the playoffs to 13-4 SU and a very profitable 13-3-1 ATS. It is 7-1 SU at home this postseason and 6-2 ATS. The total has gone ?over? in five of its eight home games and is 9-7-1 overall.

Dirk Nowitzki has been ?as advertised? with a game-high 27 points and eight rebounds in Game 1 and 24 points in Thursday?s comeback including scoring the final nine points of the game to steal the win and tie the series at 1-1. Shawn Merion also came up big in a supporting role with 20 points and eight rebounds and Jason Terry added 16 points and five assists off the bench.

Another key to Thursday?s win besides dominating the boards was Dallas?s ability to improve its shooting from the floor from 37.3 percent on Tuesday night to 48 percent in Game 2.

Turning to Sunday?s game, the Mavericks will use this tremendous shift in momentum along with raucous support of the home-town crowd to take a 2-1 edge in this series.

NBA Finals Betting Preview- Game 3: Miami Heat at Dallas Mavericks

The fans at AmericanAirlines Arena will be treated to a game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat when they take their seats on Tuesday.

Oddsmakers currently have the Heat listed as 4½-point favorites versus the Mavericks, while the game's total is sitting at 187.

The Mavericks were a 100-96 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Thunder. They failed to cover the 6.5?point spread as favorites, while the total score (196) made winners of UNDER bettors.

Miami won its last outing, an 83-80 result against the Bulls on May 26. The Heat covered in that game as a 3-point underdog, while the 163 combined points took the game UNDER the total.
