A Closer Look At The 2017 NBA Championship Predictions Exact Series Results, Finish & Playoff Prices
2017 NBA Finals Series Odds
Warriors -250 vs Cavs +210 Analysis: In their two NBA Finals meetings, Golden State has the slight edge over Cleveland in total victories (7-6), but as we all know, the Cavs have won the last three finals contests a year ago to stun the Dubs and make history in the process. Andre Iguodala (2015) and LeBron James (2016) have claimed NBA Finals MVP honors. Golden State is the clear favorite to win the finals at -250 but James and the Cavaliers aren’t exactly chopped liver and could pull off another finals upset, although I don’t see that happening.When Will Series Finish Odds
Game 4 +500 Game 5 +180 Game 6 +160 Game 7 +160 Analysis: The Warriors might have swept their three playoff opponents (12-0) en route to the finals while Cleveland (63-32 SU, 44-47-4 ATS) lost just once (12-1) along the way, but neither of these teams will be swept in the finals, so you automatically rule out the ‘four games’ pick here. With that said, I think this series could go five games if Golden State jumps all over Cleveland and holds down the fort in Games 1 and 2, although I’m thinking the more likely scenario is that this year’s Finals go six games at most. Just once in the last 10 finals has a team been swept and while that team was the Cavaliers in the 2006-07 finals against San Antonio, I don’t see that happening again simply because LeBron James has more quality teammates than he did a decade ago against the Spurs. Three of the last 10 finals matchups have ended in five games while three others have ended in six games, including Golden State’s 2015 title win against the Cavs. Last but not least, three of the last 10 NBA Finals have gone the full distance with James and the Cavs winning two of those series including last year’s history-making comeback. This time around, I’m going to urge you to pick 6 games first and foremost, although I do have to admit that I believe it could finish in five. Pick: Game 6
