The Los Angeles Lakers host the Boston Celtics in NBA wagering, finishing the NBA Finals this week in LA.

When you are wagering NBA Finals probabilities between the Lakers and Celtics you have many choices that go beyond only the side and total.

To date the sportsbooks have liked the home team in this NBA Finals betting series.

The Celtics lost an awesome chance this last Tuesday in NBA gambling news and let the home game energy escape along with losing the possibility of securing three consecutive matches on home court. Paul Pierce who is a previous NBA Finals Most Valuable Player has to get turned on as the Boston Celtics are in a do or die situation. Both he and Ray Allen were fairly inactive in the last loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, and they required Ray Allen to have another major game. It’s unbelievable but Allen was -13 from the court after the spectacular and record breaking shooting of 7 three pointers while in the first half alone of Game 2.

The Boston Celtics confronted their first must-win game of the playoffs on Thursday night. They trailed the Los Angeles Lakers 2-1 in the NBA Finals probabilities and not even the most ardent Boston enthusiast believes the Celtics could manage to lose on Thursday and win the series. Thanks to Derek Fisher, who simply outplayed everyone in the 4th quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers won an ugly game on Tuesday night. Now the Los Angeles Lakers will try and put a stranglehold on this series on Thursday.
