Sunday is a busy day, as you can go over your Masters odds in the morning, and then in the afternoon, there is a massive NBA betting matchup in Cleveland as the Cavaliers, who are trying to wrap up the No.1 seed in the East, take on Boston, who is trying to get healthy in time to defend its title. Celtics vs Cavaliers odds – Sunday, April 12, 3:30 PM EST.
As of Thursday, the Celtics had won five in a row, and they’ll be boosted by a return to form from Rajon Rondo, who had struggled with an ankle injury. A healthy Rondo is essential to Boston’s NBA betting chances, because the Stephon Marbury experiment isn’t working out at all. It’s not that Marbury’s been a distraction; he’s just been unproductive. The Celtics are also waiting for Kevin Garnett to be healthy again, as he still hasn’t returned from a knee injury. He could be back for this game, and it’ll be interesting to see if he’s the intense KG we all know.
The Cavaliers are coasting towards the top seed in the East, and a win over the Celtics would seal it, if they haven’t done it by Sunday. Cleveland has no injuries to speak of outside of Ben Wallace, and the Anderson Varejao/Drew Gooden duo can compensate for that. And, of course, the Cavs have LeBron James, who looks to be the NBA betting favorite for the MVP award. James has had a phenomenal season, and he’s only getting better, which is frightening.
Celtics vs Cavaliers odds should favor Cleveland, who is a ridiculous 38-1 at home this year. The Celtics have won two of their three meetings with the Cavaliers this year, and the home team has won all three games between the two Eastern powers this season. The Cavaliers will be looking to make a statement heading into the playoffs, and a big win over the Celtics would do it. If Garnett is healthy enough to be in the Boston lineup, look for the Cavaliers to test him early and often. With the Cavaliers’ dominance at home this year, you have to make Cleveland your NBA betting pick on Sunday.
