The NBA Action Is Heating Up

As soon as the Superbowl is run and won the NBA basketball starts to heat up. We can all move on after the festive season and start thinking about who might be contenders for the World Series later in the year. The problem with basketball and baseball is that there are so many games every year, so future betting becomes much more attractive as you will get a lot more bang for your buck.
This year we are faced with 3 major players in the race for the World Series and there aren't many surprises there. Sportsbet.com.au is betting on the basketball futures so it might be a good time to jump on board and back the winner nice and early. Pick one of these three and you should be close to the money;
LA Lakers @ $3.25: They have just been doing it year in and year out on the back of Kobe Bryant. He might not be the most likable athlete in the world but there aren't too many better than him. Make no mistake they will be hungry to avenge their defeat against the Celtics last year, and they have the personnel to win this as long as Kobe is fit and healthy.
Boston Celtics @ $3.50: The Celtics started where they left off at the start of this season destroying everyone that got onto the court against them. A few cracks have started to appear but what they have is depth and experience. Their superstar lineup featuring stars like Garnett won't rest on their success of last season and they will be there when it matters down the stretch.
Cleveland Cavaliers @ $4.75: The Cav's are the dark horse in this race and have been banging on the door for the last few seasons. They have Lebron James and Lebron is capable of anything. He was touted as the next Michael Jordan a few years ago but he needs to win a World Series if he is going to be mentioned in the same breath. The team may not have the depth of the other two but Lebron has always threatened to turn the game of basketball on its head and there appears no better time for this to happen.
