NBA 5/18/26
Cleveland Cavaliers +5 (-120) for 3 units
Bouncing back-and-forth in any series is always difficult, we need to remove our bias and any loyalty we have in our analysis. I’ve said, from the beginning that I think Cleveland can win this series and last game, picking the underdog, Although they weren’t the underdog by the time I bet them, Has proved a reasonable strategy. I think these two teams are pretty close and the Knicks would probably be in good position to beat either, but for this game seven – I like James Harden and Donovan, Mitchell catching five points. I did buy the hook, I’ve had whole discussions about a five point spread in the NBA through the years. It’s the only number I should even consider it at. And even this one is probably not profitable if you play enough.
After getting smacked around at home and game six, I’m not ready to anoint Detroit just yet. I did say when I picked them earlier in the series, picking the new up-and-coming team is usually new for me – so going back to names I recognize isn’t surprising, but this will take me to two bets on each side for the series and hopefully on the correct one all four.
