With four teams left on the play board, the championship race for both Eastern Conference and Western Conference is almost drawing to its grand ending, simultaneously putting NBA betting at an all-time high. Yes, it is the National Basketball Association (NBA) post-season right now and we still have a balance of four teams looking for a slot in the NBA finals. Punters have just suffered a brutal upset as the Bolton Celtics saw an early exit thanks to the Orlando Magic team- which also tells you how widely open the next few games are going to be.
On the Eastern Conference end, we have the Orlando Magic pitched against the Cleveland Cavaliers. We would be hard pressed to pick a winner because while Orlando Magic seems to have the winning touch with 59-13 regular record, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a record of 66-16 regular season record. Furthermore, the Cleveland Cavaliers happen to have another super weapon, and his name Lebron James.
According to the Best Betting Web Site (bestbetting.com), Cleveland Cavaliers are indeed slated to be the favourites to win the first Game. Incidentally, Game One is also played at Cleveland’s home arena. Having said that, the odd difference against Orlando Magic is a mere 9/2, hence making it a difficult result to call.
Just to give you another clue on how challenging it is to guess the winning team, the series opening odds had the Cleveland Cavaliers originally at a whopping -800 odds whereas the Orlando Magic had +500 odds! Many have commented that it was probably the absence of Kevin Garnett from the Boston Celtics that lead to its early demise. However, the bottom-line is that the Orlando Magic beat the injury-riddled Boston Celtics in not one, but seven games to get to the Eastern Conference finals.
On the other end of the ring, we have the shining Cleveland Cavaliers who so easily disposed of both the Detroit Pistons as well as the Atlanta Hawks. Their trail of blazing glory has also broke records as this is reportedly the best regular season ever for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now that they have shown that the Cavaliers are a force to be reckon with, it is no wonder that many are placing bets on them to take the grand prize.
The Western Conference on the other hand has a hot showdown on its hands between the commercially successful Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets. The Los Angeles Lakers have totalled a 65-17 regular season record whereas the Denver Nuggets have performed with a 54-28 regular season record. Even though the winner may seem clear, it is always good to remember that the absence of Yao Ming has actually caused the Lakers to work extra hard to get to the top.
As the Lakers nurse the loss of one of their key players, the Denver Nuggets on the other hand are lead by a cool team pair made up of Camerlo Anthony and Chunacy Billups. This dangerous duo easily disposed of the New Orleans Hornets and the Dallas Mavericks despite the drama and controversy surrounding the matches. Punters and gamblers alike beware, as the Denver Nuggets look in tip top shape this season and have earned the right to be the very definition of speed and athleticism.
As it currently stands, the opening series odds are pointing towards the Lakers to win the Western Conference over the Denver Nuggets. If you are fascinated in player betting, it is good to know that the player with the most points in either series is predicted to be either Lebron James, Kobe Bryant or Carmelo Anthony. Keep searching, reading and studying as the best time to commence NBA betting is in September or October.
