In this NBA Finals betting series, thus far the sports books have liked the home team.
The NBA Finals go in a 2-3-2 format so Game 5 will also be in Boston before the series comes back to LA for Games 6 and if necessary, Game 7. The home squad has been liked in NBA betting in every game in this series and that should remain the case.
Basketball Finals betting has gone back and forth in this series. The Lakers opened up as a major favorite to win the series but then Boston won Game 2 and got back into it. Rarely has a squad won all 3 games at home in the NBA Finals since the 2-3-2 format actually hurts the squad with 3 straight home games. The Celtics won Game 2 on the road however so they only needed to win two of 3 to push the series back to LA.
At this point, going into Game 6, they have been able to do that. Although Paul Pierce happily stated at the end of Game 2 that the Celts wouldn’t be returning to LA, with one home game loss, that’s exactly what they will be doing on Tuesday evening.
The Celtics were not a quality home squad during the normal season but in the playoffs they’ve been very good. The essential for Boston in this series has been the play of Rajon Rondo. When he owns a match as he did in Game 2, the Celts can win. If the la Lakers chances of winning go up substantially when they can keep him at bay. But with the series now at 2-3, and the Celts only one game away from claiming the NBA Finals championship, the Lakers’ odds are looking ever more dismal.
As an underdog, the Los Angeles Lakers have been a pretty good squad. Before previous Tuesday’s game they were 4-1 ATS in their previous 5 playoff games as an underdog. The Celtics have been a quality favorite lately on the other side in basketball finals betting. Before previous Tuesday’s event they were 6-2 ATS in their previous 8 games as a favorite. This series between the LA Lakers and Celts has gone to the underdog when it comes to the pointspread by and large. The road squad has also done well in the series. The Lakers were only 1-4-1 against the NBA betting probabilities in the previous 6 meetings in Boston, before previous Tuesday’s Game 3.
The total in basketball finals betting is challenging to figure. The Lakers had gone over in 6 of their previous nine road games before Tuesday’s event. The Celtics however had gone under in four of their previous 5 home games.
Kobe Bryant is exhibiting the stress of pretty much carrying his squad. He was heard to yell profanities at his squad for not supporting him as much as he thought they should at the end of Game 5 on Sunday, which went to the Celtics. It is still to be seen if that changes in Game 6 on Tuesday.

The Lakers and Celtics will play Game 3 of the NBA Finals gambling on Tuesday evening. Since the finals are a 2-3-2 format, it will be the 1st of three straight games in Boston. The teams split their 1st 2 games in LA with the Lakers winning easily in Match 1 while the Celtics rebounded behind Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo on Match 2. On Tuesday evening, in a match that can be seen on ABC, the series lead will be on the line.
With a total of 192.five at SBG Global, Boston is a 2.five point fave.
Allen and Rondo carried the Celtics on Sunday in their 103-94 win. The Lakers were tormented by foul trouble and they basically could not stop Allen or Rondo. The Boston Celtics got an NBA Finals odds record 8 three-pointers from Allen in the Game 2 win and they needed them. Kevin Garnett was unseen again and Paul Pierce isn’t the player he was previously. The Boston Celtics won due to Allen’s shooting and Rondo’s all around match and considering Kobe Bryant and several of the other Lakers were in foul trouble all evening. Now the series moves to Boston where the Celtics have been quite good during the playoffs after struggling during the normal season.
Here are the NBA gambling stats for Tuesday’s match. In their past five NBA Championship games, the Lakers are 4-1 ATS. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their past five games as a road underdog. The Lakers are 1-4-1 ATS in the past six meetings in Boston. The underdog is 3-1-1 ATS in the past five matches between the 2 teams and the road team is 3-1-1 ATS in the past five matches.
The Boston Celtics are 4- ATS in their past 4 Tuesday games. In their past 8 NBA Championship games, the Celtics are 7-1 ATS. The Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their past five home games. The Boston Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their past 8 playoff games as a fave.
The Over is 8-2-2 in the Los Angeles Lakers past 12 overall. The Over is 6-2-1 in the Los Angeles Lakers past 9 road games. The Over is 3–1 in the Celtics past 4 NBA Championship games. In the Celtics past 7 Tuesday games, the under is 5-2.
The Boston Celtics and the Lakers have met 11 times before this, with the Celtics earning it 9 of those times. The Boston Celtics beat the Lakers in a series that went 4-2 in their newest win in 2008. Celtics buffs famously pelted the Lakers bus with rocks after that win. Now, Boston should be a pretty inhospitable place for the Lakers to find themselves playing in the next three games. They won’t be returning to Los Angeles if Boston manages to take those three games. And that’s a chance since the Celtics are going to have home court edge and history on their side. It’s not a great one, but don’t say that to the Celtics’ Paul Pierce. In the last minutes of their Game 2 win, he shouted “We ain’t coming back to LA!”
