Kobe, LeBron Shine In Early NBA Playoff Action - 04-28-06
April 28 - Online casino and sporstbook operators know one thing - when Kobe Bryant or LeBron James take the court for an NBA playoff game their betting action, or 'handle', spikes upwards in dramatic fashion. Both players have shone in an individual capacity so far, but will their teams advance to Round 2?
The Lakers were huge underdogs in the online betting to get past the Suns. However they outplayed the Suns in Game 2 to nullify home-court advantage. Kobe Bryant led the team in that victory as he has done all season. He has a point to prove, and has played like an MVP all year long, even though that award will go to Steve Nash for the second year running it seems.
The Lakers can beat the Suns - the truth of the matter is that neither team is that strong this season.

The Cavaliers might struggle to beat the Wizards one feels. They lack playoff experience and although LeBron James has been phenomenal, in the literal sense of the word, and is the heir apparent to Michael Jordan, they might not have the depth to beat a decent Wizards team.
Both of these fascinating playoff series are on again tonight. Game 3 is in Washington and LA respectively.
