The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Portland Trail Blazers will both be trying to pick up a sports betting win on Sunday at 9:00pm when they battle at the Rose Garden in a game that can be seen on ESPN. NBA odds makers currently have the Cavaliers listed as 6-point favorites in NBA picks against the Trail Blazers while the game's basketball betting total is sitting at 190. LeBron James' 35-points and six rebounds weren't enough to push the Cavaliers past the Denver Nuggets losing 99-97 at the Pepsi Center Friday night.
Denver covered as a 4-point home underdog in sports betting odds behind 19-points and 12 rebounds from Kenyon Martin while the final score played under the 202.5-point total at online sportsbooks. Cleveland just couldn't stop the Nuggets in the fourth quarter allowing them score 30-points in the win without Carmelo Anthony. "I think Kenyon is really good laterally, he's a physical guy," James said after the game. "He definitely did a good job of standing in front of me the last couple of possessions." Cleveland is 28-10 straight up in NBA picks on the season, 19-19 ATS as a favorite in NBA odds and 8-2 after playing Denver.
The Trail Blazers handed the Los Angeles Lakers their second straight loss of the sports betting season winning 107-98 at the Rose Garden Friday night. Portland covered as a 4-point home underdog in NBA picks while the final score played OVER the 194-point total at online sportsbooks. Brandon Roy led the Trail Blazers with 32-points, five rebounds and six assists. "I wish I knew exactly what it was," Roy said after the game. "Then we could keep it going. We just play them with a lot of energy, a lot of effort." Portland is 23-15 straight up in NBA betting, 20-17-1 against the spread as an underdogs in NBA odds and 4-6 after playing the Lakers.
Gordon's NBA Picks: The Trail Blazers just won at home as sports betting underdogs against the Lakers, are 7-2 straight up at home and now are getting more points against LeBron and company? My NBA pick for tonight's basketball match-up will be to take the Trail Blazers plus the points at home against the Cavaliers to the OVER in a 2-team parlay at Bodog sportsbook! Vegas odds at the Hilton sportsbook have the Cleveland Cavaliers -5.5 favorites in NBA odds against the Portland Trail Blazers with a total of 190. |
