NBA Picks
Series Pick – Cleveland Cavaliers +170. LeBron James knows how tough it is to win the NBA Finals. No one else has experience on GSW. LeBron is playing fantastic and he knows how much this win will be for Cleveland. Plus, the Cavs are playing best team ball they have all season long.
MVP Pick – Lebron James 17/10. Getting more than even money with the best basketball player of this era who is in his prime, is tremendous value.
Game 1 Pick – Under 203. For many on both teams, this is their first NBA Finals so there are going to be a few nerves playing out. Both teams head to head this season the total went Under and their playoff records also lean to the Under.
