NBA Odds: Spurs Eye Redemption, Second Consecutive West Crown

Still reeling from their tragic collapse down the stretch in Game 6
of last year’s NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs are hell-bent on
getting back and righting their wrongs. On Wednesday, Tim Duncan and
company will look to take a two-game lead over Kevin Durant and the
Oklahoma City Thunder.

With their slight lead in the Western Conference Finals and their 5/4
odds of winning the NBA championship, the Spurs are league favorites in
the sportsbook. The veteran club’s display of poise in Game 1, coupled
with Miami’s unexpected loss to Indiana in Game 1 of the Eastern
Conference Finals, have fans and critics reconsidering the San Antonio
team whose window many thought had closed for good this time.


Trailing in the series, OKC has 13/2 odds on the NBA Futures, not bad
for a perennial contender with the league?s MVP on roster. Can Kevin
Durant and Russell Westbrook find a way to keep the Thunder in the
series and return to the Finals? Let’s not forget that it was Oklahoma
City who fell to Miami in the Finals in 2012 before San Antonio fell in
2013.


Get an idea of what to expect in the West – and whether or not either
of these squads could beat the Heat when push comes to shove – at Game 2
this Wednesday.

BetAnySports’ NBA Playoffs Pick of the Week — Miami Heat vs. Indiana Pacers

Miami Heat vs. Indiana Pacers Game 2- Tuesday, May 20


BetAnySports’ Line: Heat -2 1/2 and the Total is 184 1/2


The NBA’s Eastern Conference Playoffs have gone chalk so far with No.
2 Miami squaring off against No. 1 Indiana in the Conference Finals.
The Pacers opened the series with an impressive 107-96 victory this past
Sunday as two-point home underdogs. The total went OVER the 182-point
closing line. BetAnySports has opened the Heat as 2.5-point road favorites for Tuesday night with the total set at 184.


Miami’s slow start out of the gate in Game 1 of this series led to a
10-point deficit at the half that it was never able to close. Dwyane
Wade led all scorers with 27 points and LeBron James added another 25
points to go along with 10 rebounds, but it was not enough. The Heat
looked sharp shooting the ball from the field with a field goal
percentage of 51.3, but when it came to hitting their shots from 3-point
range it was a whole other story by going just 6-for-23. They also lost
the battle under the boards by getting outrebounded 38 to 29.


The Heat cruised through their first two playoff series in nine
games. They eliminated Charlotte with four-straight wins and they sent
Brooklyn packing in five. However, they have now failed to cover against
the spread in three of their last four postseason games. The total has
gone OVER in five of their last six playoff games on the road.


Indiana has looked like a whole different ball club its past few
games then the one that needed back-to-back victories over Atlanta in
the opening round to win that series in seven games. It started off the
Conference Semifinals against Washington with a 102-96 loss as a
four-point home favorite, but got things in gear with a 4-1 SU run to
win that series in six games. The Pacers are now 7-2 SU in their last
nine games with a 6-3 record ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in nine of
their last 13 games.


All five Indiana starters scored in double figures in Game 1 with
Paul George leading the way with 24 points. The team shot an impressive
51.5 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from 3-point range as
opposed to a postseason average of 44.8 percent from the field and 38.2
percent from beyond the arc. It was just the second time in 14 playoff
games that the Pacers scored more than 100 points.


The home team in this showdown is a perfect 9-0 SU in the last nine
meetings, but I am bucking that trend for Tuesday night by taking Miami
minus the 2.5 points on BetAnySports’ current NBA betting line for this game.

MLB Odds: Jose Abreu Dominant in First Year Out of Cuba

The Chicago White Sox aren’t exactly frontrunners to win the World
Series this fall, what with their 75/1 MLB futures and all, but their
first-year first-baseman Jose Abreu has given them every reason to feel
special. In his premier season out of the Cuban league, Abreu has taken
the major league by storm.




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




Abreu’s impact from an individual perspective has been astronomical.
His 15 home runs currently lead the MLB by a considerable margin and his
ability to knock in runs and smoke doubles is no less than elite.




This weekend the White Sox will get a chance to chip away at the AL
Central Division status quo as they hit the road against a Houston
Astros club that hasn’t exactly been gangbusters in 2014.




Last in the American League, Houston has failed to improve upon their
business-as-usual basement dwelling. The White Sox would be wise to go
all out in hopes of closing the gap that stands between themselves and
the Tigers and Royals who sit ahead of them in their division.




In addition to watching how Chicago handles the slate of winnable
games, the MLB betting community will pay special attention to the man
who’s reinvigorated the franchise. Don’t miss one of the game’s next
power hitters.

NFL Odds: Top Rookie Clowney Gives Houston a Much Needed Boost

So your Super Bowl pick didn’t pan out last season, join the club.
Still, that doesn’t mean that all hope is lost for 2014. In fact, fresh
off of the annual entry draft, clubs throughout the professional
football ranks are reevaluating their NFL odds. It’s a good time, for
example, to be the Houston Texans.





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





With Jadeveon Clowney now in the mix alongside J.J. Watt, the Texans
boast a nightmarish defensive unit that could very well change the tide
of the AFC South. For that reason, despite their two victories in 2013,
Houston has 40/1 odds of winning Super Bowl XLIX.





Clowney himself, the South Carolina Gamecock terror, has 2/1 odds of
winning the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award next season, and an
over/under sack total set at 9 – not bad for a first year linebacker.





Will the 6’5″ wrecking ball give new life into a franchise coming off
of an uncharacteristic down year? Bet on the NFL rookie class, or the
Super Bowl outright, if you think you know the answer.
