What would be your sleeper pick for the NBA Champ?

[DaveMd]

I was thinking about betting the Spurs but I noticed they are now 5-2 at Bovada. I still might go with that but the Clippers at 25-1 seems to be a decent bet. Thanks.

Cavs

Cavs

At 21-10? Not a sleeper but I guess that's decent odds for LeBron. Not sure they are ready to win it though.

[Big Bear]

thats my pick i know its not a sleeper but i cant see Lebron not winning...

they are pretty much a lock to get thru the East

Davey there are no sleepers

never are..learn from me kid

True, the NBA is normally about the chalk, but the West appears so wide open this year. Just not sold on Golden State. Nor am I sold on Atlanta in East.

Grizzlies or Rockets if Conley/Gasol/Howard are healthy.

[Christopher1991]

I like the Clippers,they are playing great basketball at the moment (won 13 of 14) and their terrible bench wont be getting too many minutes in the playoffs.

[jjgold]

Are the Spurs considered a sleeper?

[BIGDAY]

Rockets win it.

Look who they've beaten in this streak though... It's hardly impressive when you consider the opposition they've had. This team has loser DNA in them in the playoffs. I'd be surprised if it ever happens for them but I guess it's "possible".

Why bet some crazy risk factor and gurantee a loss. Either dont bet on it, or take the obvious teams. Spurs, golden state etc

Rockets win it.

I would lean Houston as well, as the sleeper. BOL men.

Just an input question, no harm in picking a sleeper is there brother. I know who it won't be, The Celtics. LOL.

True, not my money!!! BOL

[OckertCR]

Anyone but Memphis. Biggest pretender year in and year out.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Sleepers need not apply; it's the Cavs or the Spurs. Anything else is burning money.

[NBA Maniac]

Houston, with that clueless coach ??
lol

[KRIT]

Clippers and Bulls

[packerd_00]

You rarely get underdogs winning the NBA Title,it's very different then the other Sports in that sense.

[t-wizzle]

The Clippers are 17/1. I think they are a good value play.

Additionally, at +865 to win the West, I think they could beat either GSW or SAS.

[jjgold]

The clippers do look good but I still think they're lacking defense to win the big games

[Snowball]

Dallas and Portland at 50/1

Dallas and Portland at 50/1

Stop.

[frogsrangers]

Early rumblings about the initial draft of the NBA playoff script has the Cavs losing in the NBA finals this year

[rm18]

Rockets probably would of won if healthy but going to be tough now.

[Gonz312]

Only team thats considered a sleeper that has a realistic shot at winning it is the Clips...but they won't.

this.

There is less parity in the NBA than any other professional sports league.

Chalk always wins.

If you are looking for a sleeper try NHL or MLB...

nobody expected the Royals to be in the World Series or the Kings to be in the Stanley Cup last year.

[d2bets]

[Seto]

Are Pelicans really 200/1 odds?

Taking any of the last 5 teams is just throwing money away. I wouldn't take any of them +10000000000000000000000000000.

[Big Bear]

Pelicans as NBA champs just doesnt even sound right if you say it out loud.
