Tuesday Night Proceeds NBA Finals Series Wagering

15th June, 2010 - Posted by admin - No Comments

In this NBA Finals betting series, to date the odds makers have liked the home team.

The NBA Finals go in a 2-3-2 structure so Game 5 will be in Boston also before the series comes back to Los Angeles for Games 6 and if needed, Game 7. In each game in this series to date, the home squad has been liked in NBA betting and that should continue to be the case.

Basketball Finals gambling has gone back and forth in this series. The Los Angeles Lakers started off as a major favorite to win the series but then Boston won Game 2 and got back into it. Since the 2-3-2 structure truly hurts the squad with three straight home games, rarely has a squad won all three games at home in the NBA Finals. The Celtics won Game 2 on the road however so they only needed to win 2 of three to force the series back to Los Angeles.

At this time, going into Game 6, they have been able to do that. Although Paul Pierce happily stated at the conclusion of Game 2 that the Celts would not be going back to Los Angeles, with one home game loss, that’s just what they will be doing on Tuesday night.

In the playoffs the Boston Celtics have been very good, although they were not a good home squad during the normal season. The play of Rajon Rondo has been the important for Boston in this series. When he owns a match as he did in Game 2, the Boston Celtics can win. If the Los Angeles Lakers keep him in check then their odds of winning go up considerably. But with the series now at 2-3, and the Boston Celtics just one game away from claiming the NBA Finals tournament, the Lakers’ odds are looking more and more gloomy.

As an underdog, the Los Angeles Lakers have been a okay squad. Before previous Tuesday’s game they were 4-1 ATS in their previous 5 playoff games as an underdog. On the other hand in basketball finals betting, the Boston Celtics have been a good favorite lately. Before previous Tuesday’s competition they were 6-2 ATS in their previous 8 games as a favorite. This series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Celtics has gone to the underdog in terms of the pointspread most of the time. The road squad has also done well in the series. The Los Angeles Lakers were only 1-4-1 vs the NBA betting odds in the previous 6 meetings in Boston, before previous Tuesday’s Game 3.

It is challenging to figure the total in basketball finals betting. The Lakers had gone over in six of their previous nine road games before Tuesday’s competition. The Boston Celtics however had gone under in four of their previous 5 home games.

Kobe Bryant is exhibiting the strain of pretty much carrying his squad. At the conclusion of Game 5 on Sunday, which went to the Boston Celtics, he was seen to yell profanities at his squad for not assisting him as much as he thought they should. It remains to be seen if that will be different in Game 6 on Tuesday.
