NBA Season Opening – Betting Action

On Tuesday 25^th, the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James will celebrate their city’s first sports crown in 52 years when raising their championship banner as the 2016-17 NBA season opens with the reigning champion hosting the New York Knicks.

As the Teams line up with their stars online sportsbooks are gearing up for another exciting year on the hardwood. If you’re looking for regular season side betting action HeritageSports has you covered.

Four time NBA Most Valuable Player James will begin the quest to repeat.

“It will not be easy, and it shouldn’t be easy,” James said. “In my 13-year career, so far nothing has been easy. So I look forward to the journey and the work that lies ahead.”

James averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 2.3 blocked shots and 2.6 steals a game, leading the NBA Finals in each category to earn unanimous NBA Finals MVP honors.

James has played in 7 NBA Finals and the past 6 in a row. He lost his first with Cleveland then split 4 with the Miami Heat. Upon returning to Cleveland he lost one more before the Cavaliers captured their first to give Cleveland a first sporting title in 52 years.

“I came back to bring a championship to our city,” James said. “I knew what I was capable of doing. I knew I had the right ingredients and the right blueprint to help this franchise get to a place that we’ve never been. That’s what it was all about.”

Other opening night games find Utah at Portland and San Antonio at Golden State, who added 2014 NBA MVP Durant after coming up short in the playoffs.

Stephen Curry, the 2015 and 2016 NBA MVP, and fellow 3-point sharpshooter Klay Thompson will have Durant, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala up front.

The Cavaliers and Warriors open the season as favorites to play each other in the finals for the third campaign in a row, an unprecedented feat, even as 28 rivals try to fight their way into next June’s title showdown.
