the lines should change Vegas oddsWith the news that Roy is out.

I think the line should move even more in PHX's favor. I am not a real sports betting guy and don't even really understand all the spreads, but I am thinking of laying some bucks on the Blazers to either beat the spread, or perhaps even win the series. Any thoughts from betters?

Can someone explain what the odds are? Greek to me.

Those are point spreads. Basically, the Cavaliers are 11.5 point favorites over the Bulls for game 1. This means the Bulls get 11.5 points added to their score and then whoever has the most points is the winner, as far as the bet goes.

So if the game score is 110-100 Cavs, the score for the bet's purposes is 110-111.5 and a bet on the Bulls wins.
