Sports Book Betting – Will Caron Butler Return For The Mavs?

The Oklahoma City Thunders tied their series against Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Western conference finals 2010-2011 with 106-100 win, but the Mavs are still favored in most sports book betting and basketball gambling sites.

Guard/Small Forward Caron Butler has been out for some time, specifically the first of the year. The Dallas however, performed well despite of his absence, earning some buzz in basketball wagering odds and online sports betting sites. But there's no question that Dallas is missing a lot of his aggressive-moves and scoring, which can really help lift the team at the backcourt positions and stop the fast and athletic guards of OKC.


Butler's Rehabilitation Process Energizes Mavs

Rick Carlisle (Dallas Mavs headcoach) spilled some details about the ambitious rehab Butler is going through, which energizes the team. Mavs clearly didn't thought of having Butler late in the post season, but there's a light with that hope now. Butler worked hard in his rehab, and it is highly possible he could play in the Western Conference finals against the OKC.

Caron Butler hurt his right knee, particularly the patellar tendon early in January this year, and had surgery few days after the incident. Since then, Butler is making dramatic progress, as he has already been dunking the ball in some of their practices. The last step to get Butler to the hardcourt is to clear him for physical contact, and that can happen very soon. Mavericks says Butler have been working out two to three times a day and his persepctive in his situation truly made a huge impact to the entire team. He has been working in practice with Dallas assistant coaches, but will really need some work to clear him out for big competition in Western Conference finals. But if he does return soon, expect the sports odds from bookmakers online to highly favor the Mavs.
