2009-2010 NBA Betting Tip off Games
The 2009-2010 NBA regular season tips off on Tuesday October 27th with four games on tap. The rest of the league will be in action on Wednesday with an additional 12 games schedule. In the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers will begin defense of their NBA title against their cross town neighbors the L.A. Clippers. In the Eastern Conference two of the top teams in the league square off when the Boston Celtics head into the Quicken Loans Arena to take on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Here is a preview of all the games on opening day.
Boston Celtics @ Cleveland Cavaliers
This match up features the two top teams in the Eastern Conference as Boston is currently at +160 to win the East and +350 to win it all, while Cleveland is favored slightly more at +120 to win the East and +250 to finally win a World Title. Both teams are coming off a disappointing end to last season. Injuries finally took their toll on the Celtics as they lost to Orlando in seven games in the conference semi-finals after blowing a 3-2 series lead. The Cavaliers, who were heavy favorites to win the East, fell to the Magic as well in the conference finals in six games. With a healthy Kevin Garnett and two new additions, Rasheed Wallace and Marquis Daniels, the Celtics appear primed to make a serious run at another title. To bolster their lineup the Cavaliers added long time veteran center Shaquille O’Neil in hopes that his presence will be enough to push Cleveland over the hump and finally bring home a long awaited NBA title.
