The Warriors 67 wins were the sixth most all-time in NBA history, with their average point differential 3.5-points greater than the next best at +10.1. These factors are the main reason why those using sites for local bookies betting on who will win the NBA Championship see the Warriors favorites along with the Cleveland Cavaliers at 11/5.

The Warriors and Pelicans played four times in the regular season, with Golden State taking the first three and New Orleans winning the last on April 7th, one of the Warriors two losses in their last 18 games. Even though New Orleans lost only three of their last 11 to get into the playoffs, they will be lucky to get a game off the Warriors.

Houston Rockets (#2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (#7)

A first round ol’ fashioned Texas shootout has the Houston Rockets (56-26, 48-34-0 ATS) matched up against the Dallas Mavericks (50-32, 36-44-2 ATS). Pay Per Head Bookmaker agents like those at Premier Per Head PPH local bookie software online have the Rockets at 14/1 to win the championship with the Mavericks paying 40/1.

The Rockets go as James Harden goes. He was in on 40% of Houston’s successful field goals this season, leading the league with 2217 total points, over 300 more than Stephen Curry. Harden shot 37.5% on 3-point attempts and 86.6% on free throws, while his 27.4 points per game were second to only Russell Westbrook, and still managed to finish sixth in total assists.

Although Dallas has veteran playoff experience; Harden, Dwight Howard and the rest of the Rockets will get through the first round for the first time in the Harden era.

Los Angeles Clippers (#3) vs. San Antonio Spurs (#6)

Even though the Los Angeles Clippers (56-26, 37-44-1 ATS) are seeded higher than the San Antonio Spurs (55-27, 41-39-2 ATS), Vegas odds makers have the Spurs favored over the Clippers to win the championship. Experts using local bookie software online have the Spurs at 15/4 to win the title with the Clippers at 16/1.

The Spurs odds are indicative of their fantastic finish to the season that saw them win 21 of their last 25 games. Not to be outdone, the Clippers finish was equally impressive, winning 14 of their last 15.

Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and defensive player of the year candidate DeAndre Jordan will lead a Clippers team that finished second only to the Warriors with 106.7 points per game. The defending champion Spurs have the moxy to repeat, guaranteeing a great first round series.

Portland Trail Blazers (#4) vs. Memphis Grizzlies (#5)

The Portland Trail Blazers (51-31, 40-41-1 ATS) limp into their first round series against the Memphis Grizzlies (55-27, 40-40-2 ATS) having lost their last 4 online sports betting games and six of their last 9. The Grizzlies aren’t exactly hitting their stride either, with losses in six of their last 11.

Memphis, who swept the four game season series against Portland this season, come into the playoffs with 28/1 odds to win the championship with Pay Per Head agents using Premier Per Head local bookmaking software online setting Portland’s odds at 50/1.

Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge, who finished fifth and seventh in total points respectively this season, led the Trail Blazers; while the Grizzlies rely on a team defense that finished second in points per game allowed with 95.1 and it’s depth. This online sports betting series is Memphis’ to lose, but Portland won’t go down without a fight.
