With less than 20 games left in the 2009/10 NBA wagering season, the Cleveland Cavaliers are amongst the favorites to take the Eastern Conference championship and the NBA title. Cleveland not only owns the best record in the conference, but also in the NBA (50-15). Online sportsbooks currently have the Cavs listed at -125 NBA odds to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals and +200 wagering odds to win the championship but they are looking a little banged up.
With the “Big Aristotle,” Shaquille O’Neal, already out for up to eight months after having surgery on his right thumb, the Cavs were missing a cast of characters at practice on Wednesday, including star forward LeBron James (right ankle) and newly acquired forward Antawn Jamison (left knee).
Cleveland has another day before their next game, a road game against the Philadelphia 76ers, and James and Jamison could be ready for action. LeBron James, who has already missed two games, is eyeing a return on Friday and Jamison hasn’t been entirely ruled out either.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Jamison has “a cyst in the knee that fills with fluid periodically,” which is causing discomfort but is day to day and if he doesn’t play on Friday against the 76ers, he will definitely see action on Sunday in a home game against the Boston Celtics. “It’s something that occurred earlier in the season,” Jamison told the Plain Dealer. “With proper treatment, it went away. So I don’t see this lingering any longer than it has the last couple of days.”
In the Cavaliers’ last eight games overall against Philadelphia, they are 7-1 straight up and 6-2 against the spread. The story is similar in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ last eight visits to the City of Brotherly Love as they are 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS.
Over/Under Wagering Odds Alert: In the last nine Cavalier games in Philly, there have been 8 Overs and 1 Under.
The Chicago Bulls are about to embark on a two games in two nights odyssey and it begins Thursday in Orlando against the Magic. The Bulls are solid in their last 12 road games, going 8-4 SU and 8-4 ATS but in their last 12 games overall against the Magic, they are 3-9 SU.
In the last nine games that are the first of back to backs, Chicago is 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. In the last 10 games in that same situation, there have been 3 Overs and 7 Unders.
The following night the Bulls head south to Miami and in their last 10 overall games against the Heat, there have been 2 Overs and 8 Unders. Check out the NBA wagering odds at Sportsbetting.com and have a great basketball betting week!
The Utah Jazz used to be a team that couldn’t win on the road but that has changed this NBA wagering season. The Jazz have been right around the .500 mark all season on the road and that is a major difference for this year’s team. In the past, the Jazz excelled at home and collapsed on the road. This year Utah has proven they are tough in road games. "We have more confidence on the road now," said Deron Williams. "We realize if we come and create our own energy and play with intensity on defense and get stops, then we’ll have a chance to win ballgames." The 
The Los Angeles Lakers will look to win their 11th straight home contest on Tuesday as they host the Indiana Pacers at 10:35pm ET. Considering that the Pacers are one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference and the Lakers are the best NBA wagering team in the Western Conference, that shouldn’t be a problem. Covering the point spread though is another matter. The
