Vegas odds for Game 1 of the Chicago Bulls @ Cleveland Cavailiers NBA playoff series are now posted on NSAwins.com and vegas oddsmakers have made the Cleveland Cavailiers an -11.5 point favorite with the total listed at over/under 193.5 points.
Lebron James and the Caviliers won a NBA-best 61 games in the regular season to finish with the league’s best NBA regular season record for the 2nd straight year, but will be looking to finish it off with a NBA Championship instead of another disspointing NBA playoff series loss. The #1 seeded Cavaliers and James begin their quest for their 1st NBA Championship with Game 1 of a series versus the #8 seed Chicago Bulls this afternoon at 3:05 PM EST(ABC) in Quicken Loans Arena. Since the NBA switched its playoff format in 1984, only three teams seeded No. 8 have beaten a No. 1 seed in a series and the only time it has happened in the Eastern Conference was when the #1 seeded New York Knicks were upset by the #8 seeded Miami Heat in a five-game series back in 1999. “To me, seeding doesn’t mean anything,” Bulls center Joakim Noah said. “At the end of the day, it’s yours against mine. That’s the way we view it. I think it’s going to be a good challenge.” The two teams split the regular season series 2-2 this season. The Bulls won the first matchup 86-85 on November 5. The Cavs won the next two meetings before Chicago defeated Cleveland 109-108 on April 8 in a game James did not play. NSAwins.com’s expert handicapper William E.
