But he\u2019s a bit busy anyway, trying to lead his hometown Cavaliers to a championship. James and the Cavs will face an inconsistent Utah team on Thursday night. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/handicappers\/\"><strong>CLICK HERE NOW TO VIEW THIS WEEKS BEST NBA BASKETBALL HANDICAPPERS &#8212;&#8211;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cavaliers vs Jazz betting \u2013 Thursday, January 14, 10:30 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cavaliers (30-10) have won eight of their last 10, including two in a row at Portland and Golden State. James will be going for his fourth straight game with 30 points or more, although he\u2019d surely give it up to get consistent scoring from his supporting cast. Outside of James, the best Cav this season has been Anderson Varejao, who could be a sportsbook favorite for Defensive Player of the Year. The scrappy forward leads the league in plus\/minus, and he\u2019s shooting 51.6% from the floor.<\/p>\n<p>The Jazz (21-17) have actually won three of their last four, and Deron Williams has been fighting through a wrist injury to average 20.0 points and 10.0 assists over his last three games. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250g-sportsbook.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sports Betting at the Sportsbook\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/>Carlos Boozer has also been playing well, but the power forward doesn\u2019t give his all 100% of the time. The Jazz are locked in a tight battle with Denver, Portland and a surprising Oklahoma City team in the Northwest, and they\u2019ll need to string together some wins to improve their NBA betting chances in your sportsbook.<\/p>\n<p>If the Jazz are favored at home, which they usually are, it won\u2019t be by much as Cleveland has won three of their last five trips to Utah, including last season\u2019s by a 102-97 score as a 3-point underdog. It\u2019s always tough to pick against the Cavaliers, as anyone who gives <a title=\"betting tips \" href=\"http:\/\/www.ussportsbookreviews.com\/betting-tips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">betting tips<\/a> will tell you, because in James, they have a player who can literally take over a game by himself if his team is in trouble. Varejao should make life difficult for Boozer in the lane, although the Cavaliers don\u2019t have anyone that can guard Williams. Cleveland has the better supporting cast, they\u2019ve had a few days off, which is always good for an East coast team on a West coast road trip.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Online wagering \" href=\"http:\/\/www.onlinewagering.ws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online wagering<\/a> pick: Cleveland<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>START NBA GAMBLING TODAY AT BODOG SPORTSBOOK &amp; CASINO\u2026.CLICK HERE TO JOIN!!!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poolside rants weighs in with some picks for tonights hoops action\u2026NBA style.
