Basketball Betting: A look at Some LeBron James Props

With NBA MVP LeBron James now on board with the Miami Heat, some props related to the signing of the game's top player are now available. Here's a look at a several of the props: Miami Heat - Total wins in the 2010-2011 NBA Regular Season (Ov/Un: 65) In his final two seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, James led the club to the best regular season mark in the league. The Cavs won 61 games last season after putting together a 66-16 record in the 2008-09 campaign. Miami's best year was a 61-21 mark in the 1996-97 season. Since Dwyane Wade has been with the Heat, the team's top year was a 59-23 record in 2004-05. How Many NBA Championships will the Miami Heat win in the next 6 seasons? (Ov/Un: 2.5) In the last two decades, three franchises have been able to win three or more titles over a six-year period. The Chicago Bulls won six championships over an eight-season run from 1990-91 to 1998. The Los Angeles Lakers captured three consecutive titles from 1999-2000 to 2001-02. Finally, the San Antonio Spurs were able to win three championships in a span of five years from 2002-03 to 2006-07. How Many Points will LeBron James average during the 2010-2011 NBA Season? (Ov/Un: 23.5) With the opportunity to play alongside Wade and Chris Bosh, most feel that James will see his scoring numbers decline a little bit this season. Last year, James finished second in the league in scoring at 29.7 points per game. In his career, he is averaging 27.8 points per outing. The only time that James averaged less than 23.5 points per game was in his rookie season (20.9). In the last six years, his totals have ranged from a low of 27.2 in 2004-05 to a high of 31.4 in 2005-06. How Many Assists will LeBron James average during the 2010-2011 NBA Season??  (Ov/Un: 9) Last season, James posted a career high in assists at 8.6 per game. In his career, he is averaging an even 7 assists per outing. While James is a small forward, there are times when he handles the ball like a point guard. With Wade and Bosh as options on the Miami offense, James could have some easier opportunities to build up his assists total than he did with a Cleveland squad that lacked another dominant scorer.
