So far the sports books have liked the home team in this NBA Finals gambling series.

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

Basketball Finals betting has gone backwards and forwards in this series. The LA Lakers began 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 really hurts the team with 3 straight home games, rarely has a team won all 3 games at home in the NBA Finals. The Boston Celtics only needed to win two of 3 to push the series back to LA since they won Game 2 on the road.

Moving into Game 6, they have managed to do that at this time. Although Paul Pierce happily stated at the conclusion of Game 2 that the Celtics would not be returning to LA, with one home game loss, that’s just what they will be doing on Tuesday night.

The Boston Celtics were not a solid home team during the normal season but in the playoffs they have been pretty good. The play of Rajon Rondo has been the crucial for Boston in this series. When he owns a game as he did in Game 2, the Boston Celtics can win. If the Lakers odds of winning go up substantially when they can keep him under control. But with the series now at 2-3, and the Boston Celtics just one match away from claiming the NBA Finals tournament, the Lakers’ odds are looking ever more bleak.

As an underdog, the la Lakers have been a pretty good team. Before last Tuesday’s game they were 4-1 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as an underdog. The Boston Celtics have been a solid favorite lately on the other hand in basketball finals gambling. Before last Tuesday’s event they were 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. This series between the LA Lakers and Celtics has gone to the underdog in terms of the pointspread by and large. The road team has also done well in the series. Before last Tuesday’s Game 3, the la Lakers were only 1-4-1 vs the NBA gambling probabilities in the last 6 meetings in Boston.

The total in basketball finals gambling is difficult to figure. Before last Tuesday’s event, the la Lakers had gone over in 6 of their last nine road games. The Boston Celtics however had gone under in four of their last 5 home games.

Kobe Bryant is exhibiting the stress of practically carrying his team. He was heard to yell profanities at his team for not supporting him as much as he thought they should at the conclusion of Game 5 on Sunday, which went to the Celts. It remains to be seen if that will be different in Game 6 on Tuesday.
