NBA Championship 2009-2010 betting preview
By Matt Knowles on 2009-10-27 21:45:50
The NBA season tips off on Tuesday with two of the favourites for the Championship facing each other in the opening game. Â The Cleveland Cavaliers, led by LeBron James, face the Boston Celtics, a team whch had the league`s second-best record last year while defending their 2008 title. Cleveland are second-favourites to win the Finals this year at 7/2, just ahead of Boston at 5/1.
The Cavaliers have long relied on LeBron James for their success. `King James` has averaged 27.5 points, 7 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game since entering the league in 2003, and last season scored 52 points against Toronto and 49 points against Orlando. He is favourite at 15/8 to be the league`s MVP this year.
Ahead of the Cavaliers, as favourites for this year`s Championship, are defending Champions the Los Angeles Lakers at 12/5. The Lakers have also been very reliant on one man, Kobe Bryant, who is second-favourite to be MVP at 7/2 after James and who has averaged 25 points per game over his career including scoring 81 points in a single game.
The rookie of the year award should be interesting this year. The LA Clippers` Â Blake Griffin, the first overall pick out of Oklahoma, is favourite at 11/10 to win the award after averaging 16.8 points, 15.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game in his senior year. Next favourite is Stephen Curry at 9/1, the Golden State Warriors` guard, picked seventh overall, ahead of James Harden at 10/1 and Tyreke Evans at 11/1.
Sacramento and Milwaukee are rated as the two worst teams in the league, at 350/1 for the title, followed by Oklahoma and Minnesota at 300/1.
