This was really the only good thing I did productively in the NBA last season. Looking to repeat that feat. Good luck to you with your plays, let's end up with positive units in June!
Prop #1: [Game 1] Chicago-Cleveland LARGEST LEAD UNDER 20 [-130]
I'm not choosing this based on Lebron sitting out a handful of games down the stretch or trying to figure out how Shaq fits in or what roles Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison have on the court together when this team has all its parts ... it's based solely on the series between these teams over the past two seasons. In this year's four meetings, the largest lead in any game was 19 points. In the past 8 meetings back through last season, just one has featured a lead of more than 20 points. Over the past three seasons when starting the playoffs, only last year's Game 1 with Detroit featured a lead as big as 20 for Cleveland and that was the biggest lead, exactly 20. I think the Cavs are going to be using this series as a building block on how exactly all the pieces fit the playoff puzzle for them and that could keep at least the first few games within reach of this 20 point cushion.
