Oddsmakers Have Spurs as Solid Favorites

[ImpartialObserver]

The opening moneyline series price at Olympic Sportsbook:

* -450 for the Spurs (you win $100 for every $450 you bet if the Spurs win)
* +400 for the Cavs (you win $400 for every $100 you bet if the Cavs win)

I'm actually surprised it's not more like -600 or higher considering the Spurs overwhelming experience advantage and their home court advantage. That -450 looks awfully tempting....

I would put $100,000 with these odds on the Spurs

Early money is coming down on the Spurs. The updated odds are now:

* Spurs -485
* Cavs +405

Look for it to level off at between -525 and -575. -485 is still a great bet because I think the Cavs will have to win two games in SA to win this series, something I don't think they can do. Also, the 2-3-2 format gives the Spurs an advantage because I don't think the Cavs can beat the Spurs three times in a row at home almost assuring that the worst case scenario for the Spurs is to go back to SA down 3-2.
