Will NBA Crown a New Champ in 2007?



NEW YORK, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ - The NBA regular season tips off in
seven days and odds makers at Sportsbook.com are already looking ahead to a
season that they believe will end with a new champion being crowned. The
early lines list the Dallas Mavericks as favorites at 7-2 to pry away the
title they coughed up to the Miami Heat last season. The defending champs
are a 4-1 bet to retain the championship.
San Antonio will be looking for redemption after a tough loss to Dallas
in the Western Conference finals last year. Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili
have had a quiet off season and should be ready to bump against Dirk
Nowitzki's Mavericks and Steve Nash's Phoneix Suns. The Spurs' odds are 9-2
followed by the Suns at 5-1and the Chicago Bulls at 7-1 to round out the
top five contenders.
Sportsbook.com has also posted odds on total wins for each team in the
league. The Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs both post the largest
over/under total for wins at 56.5. Odds makers have Miami listed at
over/under 51 wins this season, tops in the Eastern Conference.
