Lebron And His Finger Are Back And It Showed

What a difference one injury and one game can make. The Cleveland Cavaliers are definitely glad that Lebron James returned from his finger injury. And they have a 118-105 win over the Indiana Pacers to show for his first game back after missing 5. He came in from the bench and sparked the team with 17 points in 22 minutes. Lebron was wearing a protective glove with some padding on his hand, but it didn't seem to bother his dribbling or play at all. Neither did having Larry Hughes come in off of the bench and score 36 points in 26 minutes. It was his second game back from a leg injury and the largest amount of points scored by a reserve on the Cavaliers since Phil Hubbard(37) in 1986. Look for them to return to find some better form now and start to win more consistently. They are now officially back on our betting radar as long as Lebron stays healthy. Their next game isn't until Friday against the Nets, but be sure to check the line then and see if there is any opportunity.

I am mentioning that because I just noticed that the Los Angeles Clippers just rolled into New Jersey and took down the Nets by 9 points. That after going in as 6-1/2 point dogs. I wonder what the Vegas odds line makers are thinking about Friday's game now? I still would stay off of the Clippers and not take them against Charlotte tomorrow though. Let's not get too crazy, Charlotte does have a winning record at home and even after this win the Clippers will still be under .500 on the road.

Going into Wednesday's schedule, you may want to look at the Philadelphia 76ers and the Minnesota Timberwolves. I know the line is large at 7 points, but the 76ers have been playing well lately and the Timberwolves haven't, especially on the road. I would also look at the Orlando Magic and Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks just came off of a bad road trip and are going to be looking to turn it around at home where they are 6 and 2 this year. But even after losing two, Orlando is still a much better team. The line right now is putting Orlando as a 4 point favorite and I think they can probably cover that and then some, so check it out.
