Ah, it's that time of the year again. A time for families to gather 'round their computers for some wholesome fun over on Bovada to look at all of the bets they can place together on the NBA. Now that the "bigger" odds have been released (the Lakers are at 5/2 odds to grab the championship behind the Heat's 11/5), the miscellaneous player props and stats odds have been unleashed upon the masses. Here are a few that you might find of interest.

Personally, I think putting Kobe at 25.5 points per game seems a bit high, considering he put in 27.9 last season before the duo of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard were wearing a Lakers uniform, but that just goes to show the belief that the game may come easier to him despite getting less touches.
So, what do you think about these odds? Which ones stand out? Do you think James Harden and Andrew Bynum are staying put?
