NBA Odds: Can Spurs Domination Continue in Playoffs? | IXGAMES
The San Antonio Spurs are the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference for the first time in five years, but will that be enough to propel the veteran club to its fifth title in 14 years? Weigh in on their first-round series with Bovada’s NBA betting line. Matched up against the No. 8 Utah Jazz in a best-of-seven starting Sunday, the Spurs will be hard-pressed to rally deep into the postseason, but it’s more then possible. Worth nothing, however, is that they’ve either not made it out of Round 1 or been swept in Round 2 in each of the last three seasons. This year, with 9/2 odds of winning the NBA championship, success may be a distinct possibility. Who said Tim Duncan and company were too old to compete at an elite level? In contrast, with just 150/1 odds on the NBA betting line, the Jazz are not only underdogs of the series, but of the entire playoffs, meaning that it will take some surprising heroics from Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap to give the Spurs a scare. Even with aging San Antonio’s lingering concern over player health and energy in the long stretch of the playoffs, Utah should be a manageable opponent. The question is, after the first round, are the Spurs legitimate contenders? Or has their window on the NBA betting line already closed. Ball so hard. Get your NBA odds at Bovada today.
