Game 1: Chicago Bulls @ Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview
The #3 seeded Chicago Bulls take their act on the road in Game 1 to the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland to take on Lebron James and the Cavaliers at 7:05 PM EST. The Bulls advanced to the 2015 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs Semifinals in big time style after they absolutely destroyed the #6 seeded Milwaukee Bucks in a 120-66 rout in Game 6 in Milwaukee. That win helped the Bulls avoid an embarrassing 7th game in that series after opening up the series with a 3-0 lead.
The #2 seeded Cleveland Cavaliers open up at home against the Bulls Monday night but will be without the services of their start forward Kevin Love who is out after injuring his shoulder against the #7 seeded Boston Celtics in round one. The Cavs swept the Celtics 4-0 in the first round series but the loss of Love is absolutely a big time blow to the Cavs’ chances not only in this round but further along should they be fortunate enough to advance past a talented Bulls squad.
The Cavaliers took three out of the four regular season meetings between these two teams in the regular season but that was then and this is now. The Playoffs are a different animal and Cleveland is about to find out why after coasting past the Celtics but now going up against a much better Chicago team and without the services of Love. We will take the points and go with the Bulls in Game 1 at +5 as we simply feel Chicago is the better team now that Love is out for this series.

Game 1: LA Clippers @ Houston Rockets Betting Preview
The #3 seeded Los Angeles Clippers are feeling about as confident as a team can feel at this point after ousting the defending NBA Champion and #6 seeded San Antonio Spurs in round one. The Clippers got a winning basket from all star point guard Chris Paul with just one second left to seal a 111-109 win over Tim Duncan and the Spurs in Game 7 on Saturday night. The win was arguably the biggest win in LA Clippers franchise history and it’s going to take a helluva effort from any team to oust the Clippers from here on out after the mighty Spurs couldn’t even close them out after going up 3-2 in their round one series.
The #2 seeded Houston Rockets also have to be feeling very good about themselves and confident going forward after dominating an overmatched #7 seeded Dallas Mavericks team in round one. The Rockets won their first round series against their Lone Star state rivals 4-1 and now look to take advantage of home court advantage in this 2015 NBA Western Conference Playoffs Semifinals matchup.
The Clippers and Rockets played four times in the regular season with each team taking two wins. The Clippers won the first two matchups in the regular season while the Rockets bounced back to take the last two. This series should be great to watch and very competitive but our money is going down on the LA Clippers. It’s hard to bet against a team that found a way to win a Game 6 in San Antonio and then win again in Game 7 to end the repeat hopes of the Spurs. We will take the Clips +6 in Game 1 as we feel they are simply the better team and are playing with great confidence.
