Basketball betting should be exciting on Sunday as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers host Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. This basketball matchup can be seen on ABC television. Basketball scheduling information tells us that the Lakers are in the final game of a six-game road trip.
NBA betting trends show that the Cavaliers have won six of the last ten meetings between the two teams and they are 6-4 against the basketball odds. Basketball results show that at Cleveland, the Cavaliers have won four of the last five games against the Lakers. They are also 3-2 against the NBA betting odds in those games.
The Cavaliers are the basketball betting favorite in this contest. It is rare that the Lakers are underdogs in NBA betting odds but that will be the case on Sunday. The Cavaliers have been a super team at home this season both straight up and against the basketball odds.
This basketball betting game on Sunday matches the Lakers #1 offense against the Cavaliers #1 defense. Basketball betting results tell us that the Lakers prevailed last month at home as their offense put up 105 points against the Cavaliers in a 105-88 victory. That type of offensive performance is rare against a tough Cleveland defense.
The Cavaliers have had a top defense all season and their offense continues to improve. Cleveland has moved into the Top 10 in offense as basketball stats show. LeBron has been leading the way but Mo Williams has shown he can explode at any moment and provide support.
The Lakers are on the other side of that coin as they have a great offense led by Kobe Bryant but a suspect defense as basketball betting statistics show. Los Angeles still ranks in the middle of the league on defense as basketball stats show.
Seven of the last ten games between the two teams have gone under the basketball total including the last three. Last month’s game in Los Angeles went under the basketball total of 202.5.
