Covers talks to sportsbooks at the Las Vegas Strip and online about all of the action for tonight's Game 1 and where the lines could finally end up before tipoff.
Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors - Open: Warriors -6, Move: None
One-year ago Golden State defeated an essentially just-LeBron Cleveland team in six games, going 4-2 against the spread within the process. The chances might be somewhat more in spite of the Cavs rostering a healthy Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love this time around. That being said they're going up against a peaking 73-win Warriors team that may be coming off an excellent series comeback over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The defending champion Warriors open Game 1 of the Finals on their home court as 6-point home chalk and are seeing the slight fringe of the action, consistent with online sportsbook BetNow.
"The action now we have been getting for Game 1 was pretty however far, however the Warriors are drawing a large number of action," BetNow's oddsmaker told Covers. "Action at the spread is more at the Warriors, however the Money Line is pretty split down the center on the moment."
With the mostly even action the road has yet move off the outlet selection of Warriors -6.0. Online sportsbook Carbon Sports was seeing an analogous situation.
"We opened this game 1 of the finals Warriors -6 and feature not needed to move off our number as we've been getting solid two way action," Michael Stewart of Carbon Sports told Covers. "We did make a minor tweak to the juice, going from Warriors -6 (-110) to -6 (-105) with just over 50 percent of the action at the Warriors to hide the spread."
However in terms of the action on Game 1's total the wagers was decidedly more one-sided.
"That’s were the large wagers are coming in," BetNow's oddsmaker told Covers. "The action is nearly entirely at the over on the time. The road might change afterward to entice bettors which might be holding out for late wagers."
The total remains to be at its opening number 209.5, but there has been an adjustment revamped at Carbon Sports, who were seeing similar action.
"We did make a slight adjustment to the overall moving from 210 to 210.5 with 60 percent of the action at the over," Stewart said.
