Which team will lose more games in Round 1? The NBA's Detroit Pistons or the NHL's Detroit Red Wings?

When the playoffs tip off on Saturday afternoon, the spotlight will shine bright on LeBron James. The Cleveland Cavaliers' phenom will make his first playoff appearance when he leads his team against the Washington Wizards. Can James - who powered the Cavs to a 50-32 record and their first playoff appearance in eight years - fulfill his vast potential and carry his team to the finals? Bodog.com bookmakers have the Cavs at 18/1 odds to wín the Eastern Conference.

Another star capable of propelling his team to the championship is Kobe Bryant, who takes the floor Sunday when his Los Angeles Lakers face the Phoenix Suns. Will the NBA's leading scorer dominate the postseason? The Lakers are 25/1 to steal the Western Conference while the Suns are 8/1 to reach the finals.

Will Bryant score 50 or more points in Game 1 in Phoenix? Bodog.com bookmakers have the odds: NBA Player Props

"Playoff games are hard-fought and unpredictable battles, and wagering on them just enhances their entertainment value," says Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodog.com. "With the range of betting options Bodog is offering our customers, this year's playoffs are going to be the most captivating yet."

Last year, the San Antonio Spurs rode tough defense and timely offense to the title, and they'll look to do that again when they start their playoff run against the eighth-seeded Sacramento Kings on Saturday. The Spurs, who won the Western Conference regular-season title, will face Sacramento for the first time in the playoffs. Can Ron Artest and the Kings hold off the defending champions? The Spurs are at 14/5 odds to repeat as NBA champions; the long shot Kings are 40/1 to wín it all.

With the best record in the NBA, the Detroit Pistons are certain to be a difficult challenge for the other Eastern Conference hopefuls. They open against the Milwaukee Bucks, the only playoff team with a losing record, and the Pistons couldn't be blamed for looking ahead as they seek to reach the finals, where they lost to the Spurs in seven games last season. Bodog.com bookmakers have Detroit favored at 2/3 odds to wín the NBA championship.
