NBA Finals Game 3 Prop Picks

The Cleveland Cavaliers are basically in a must-win situation heading into tonight's Game 3 of the NBA Finals after getting waxed by Golden State in the first two games of this best-of-seven matchup. The big difference this time around is that the first two games were played on the road and this game will be played in the friendly confines of Quicken Loans Area.

The Cavaliers closed as six-point road underdogs in each of their first two games at Golden State and BetAnySports has them listed as slight one-point home favorites for Game 3. The total line for this game has been set at 205. The big question you to ask yourself is which Cleveland team shows up on Wednesday night? The one that rolled to the Eastern Conference title with a straight-up 12-2 record while going a perfect 7-0 on its home court or the one that was blown off the court in its last two games by a combined 48 points.

A change of venues in any championship series has a way of changing things up and I am banking on a much better showing from LeBron and Co. as part of this week's top prop picks for Doc's Sports. Check-out the link below for my top plays on a few alternate betting lines for Game 3.

NBA Finals Top Prop Picks

The 2016 NBA Finals get underway this Thursday night with Game 1 of a best-of-seven showdown between the East's Cleveland Cavaliers and the defending champion Golden State Warriors out of the West. These two teams are very familiar with one another after battling it out in last season's championship series. The Warriors prevailed in six games against a Cleveland squad that was missing two of its best players. This time around both teams are at full strength and Golden State is still a -225 favorite to win again according to BetAnySports' current series price odds with the Cavaliers listed as +185 underdogs.

To add some extra betting action this series, I devoted this week's top prop picks for Doc's Sports to a pair of picks that I believe have the best chance to add a few extra bucks to the betting bankroll when it is all said and done. Check out the link below to see which way I am leaning in the epic rematch.

Longshot Set to Win Indy 500

I cover NASCAR's Sprint Cup series for Cappers Picks and you can find this week's picks for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 in the NASCAR section on the site. As an added task this week they asked me to come up with my picks for Sunday's Indy 500, which is the biggest race of the year in IndyCar racing. This year's event offers a special twist since it is the 100th running of this storied race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which is commonly referred to as the Brickyard.

Handicapping IndyCar racing is somewhat different than NASCAR in the sense that a driver's starting position is far more important in open-wheeled racing than racing stock cars. Winning the pole position for a race like the Indy 500 almost guarantees that the driver of that car will be favored to win. It also makes picking longshots an almost guaranteed losing proposition given just how hard it is to beat the top favorites on a very tight track. That being said, I am still going out on a limb this Sunday with a driver at 20/1 odds as my winner. To find out who I think can upset the field in the 100th running of the Indy 500 just follow the link below to my compete race preview on Cappers Picks. To place your own bet on Sunday's race simply go to BetAnySports.com as the top online sportsbook for US sports bettors.
