When you’re gambling NBA Finals odds between the Los Angeles Lakers and Celtics you have a number of options that go beyond only the side and total.

Frequently neglected in basketball odds are the quarter, 1st half and 2nd half lines and the amount of proposition bets that can be made.

Since the home court edge is highly respected by the odds makers, NBA Finals odds favor the home team. That doesn’t mean the home team constantly wins or covers the spread though. The road squad won 2 times and covered the spread in the 1st three games of the NBA Finals. The value in this series is certainly with the road squad. The Lakers were favored before the series started and they are still the overall favorite to secure the NBA Finals.

Because the NBA Finals are televised on ABC, the games get a lot of interest and there are a few additional options that would not be accessible on normal season games. It is possible to gamble several proposition bets that will keep you in competition all game. You might want to bet one player against another in a matchup or you might want to bet on a single quarter. Those options can be found in NBA Finals odds.

The NBA Finals are like the Super Bowl on a much lesser scale but similar in a few areas. A lot more people are watching and wagering on the game than would be the case throughout the normal season. This is much more the case with the Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers since they are marquee teams and since they have a prolonged and storied rivalry.

Some of the forms of propositions available are 1st squad to score, total 3-pointers made, total points won by the Lakers, total points won by the Celtics, player to score the 1st points in the game, etc. Additionally, there are player competitions such as Kobe Bryant against Paul Pierce, Ray Allen against Ron Artest, etc. You will have one player laying points to the other player in plenty of of these player bouts. It might be Kobe laying 8 points to Pierce which means Kobe would need to score at least 8 points more than Pierce for that wager to win against the basketball odds.

It’s possible for the Lakers to take this series back from the Celtics even though the score is at 3-2 in favor of the Celtics. Now that the Lakers have home court edge back, they may band together and make it happen. Nonetheless, even Kobe Bryant is getting ever impatient with his team’s lack of scoring ability. He has also freely complained about their lack of defense, stating that it belonged on a milk carton.

Having a record of winning the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers 9 from 11 times in the past, including at their past meeting in 2008, the Celtics have a reason to be arrogant right now. Following that victory, Celts buffs famously hit the Los Angeles Lakers bus with rocks when they left the arena.
