Heat open season in Boston
Basketball Betting Lines
08/03/2010 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The new-look Miami Heat and two-time
defending champion Los Angeles Lakers will both be in action on the first day
of the 2010-11 NBA season, October 26.
The Heat will open the season in Boston against the Celtics in the first game
of a doubleheader aired by TNT.
Miami will unveil its star trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in
a potential Eastern Conference Finals preview. The Celtics are the defending
East champions and also feature a 'Big Three' -- Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce
and Ray Allen, who led the Celtics to the 2008 NBA title. This past season
Boston pushed the Lakers to seven games in the Finals.
The opening-night doubleheader will continue with the Lakers, as they begin
their quest for a third consecutive title at home against the Houston Rockets.
Led by two-time defending Finals MVP Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles was an
antithesis of Miami this offseason, having made few big headlines but
remaining a top contender for the title. One of the team's biggest questions
was whether head coach Phil Jackson would return. However, Jackson announced
last month he would be back for another year in an attempt to record his 12th
NBA coaching championship.
The Rockets, meanwhile, expect center Yao Ming to return after he missed the
entire 2009-10 season with a foot injury.
A set of premium matchups comes on October 29, when ESPN airs a doubleheader.
In the first game, the Heat host Dwight Howard and Orlando in a Southeast
Division battle. That contest is followed by the Phoenix Suns hosting the
Lakers in a Western Conference Finals rematch.
The NBA released a schedule of five Christmas Day games, highlighted by the
Lakers playing host to Miami and Orlando hosting Boston in a rematch of the
East finals. Additionally on Christmas, the New York Knicks host the Chicago Bulls, the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Denver Nuggets, and the Golden State Warriors host the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Magic and Celtics play again on January 17 as part of the Martin Luther
King Day schedule, in Boston.
The NBA released select nationally televised games Tuesday, and will announce
the full 2010-11 schedule on August 10.
