Fans at the sports betting site are excited about the upcoming NBA season with some great matchups on the schedule. It will be a while before sports betting fans get to see a rematch of the NBA Finals as the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics will not meet until January 30th in a game that will be televised on ABC. The NBA had previously released some marquee matchups but the full schedule was not released until Tuesday.
Sports betting site odds for the NBA season will be on the board in late October with one of the premier matchups being Miami and their power trio of LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh at Boston to face the Celtics. Many fans were wondering when LeBron James would make his return to Cleveland and that date is now known. The Heat will play at Cleveland on December 2nd. Chris Bosh will face his former team when Miami visits Toronto on February 16th.
The NBA schedule release coincided with ESPN and ABC releasing some of their schedule of games for the year. The two will combine to televise a total of 90 games during the 2010-2011 seasons. ESPN will begin their coverage on October 27th as Chicago visits Oklahoma City and Portland goes to Los Angeles to play the Clippers. Two days later ESPN will have Miami’s home opener against the Orlando Magic and they will also have the Lakers at Phoenix.
ESPN has a number of interesting games they will televise this season. They will show the New York Knicks hosting the Chicago Bulls on Christmas Day. ESPN will also show Denver at Oklahoma City and Portland at Golden State on Christmas Day. The network also announced they will show Chicago at Memphis on Monday, January 17th in a day game.
The NBA schedule presents a time when gamblers can start to look at certain games and certain situations. Travel is a big factor in the NBA and there will be some excellent spots to go against teams who are playing three games in four nights. The NBA season begins in October but now that the schedule is out, the research for many of those NBA wagers can start right now.
