NBA Odds - Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors Game 1

Last season at this time, it was the Golden State Warriors who were rolling into the NBA Finals, while the Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to be just barely getting by. Now, the roles are reversed in a rematch for the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

Game 1 of the NBA Finals promises to be a tremendous game, and it should be a good precursor for what could be an epic series.

ODDS ANALYSIS
 
Last year in the Finals, the Cavaliers were relatively big dogs in all of their games in Oakland. They started at +6 and moved to +7.5 for Game 2 and +9.5 for Game 3. To their credit, the Cavs did force Game 1 to overtime, and they came back and won Game 2. After that though, this series really wasn't all that close.
 
This time though, the implication is there that Cleveland has a real shot. The Cavs are only set at +5.5, and for live betting purposes, that number isn't big enough to scare off moneyline bettors on either side as well.
 
The total is the Finals started at 203.5 and dipped all the way to 193.5 by the time the decisive Game 6 rolled around. This year, the number starts significantly higher at 210.5, though live bettors should be aware that the under posted a 3-2-1 mark in the 2015 Finals.
