Lakers Continue to be Favored By NBA Futures and Props
Tuesday, 15. June 2010 13:14
The Lakers are still liked to win the NBA Finals by NBA futures and props.
The LA Lakers were liked in basketball futures and props before the series began and they have remained the favored throughout. With the 2-3-2 format the Lakers were in good shape leading 2-1 in the series after Game 3.
The LA Lakers were liked in the 1st 2 matches of the series and the Celtics in the next three by NBA futures and props. The home team has been liked in each game due to the fact home court edge is highly respected in NBA odds. That does not mean the home team always covers however. In fact, the home team covered the spread just once in the 1st three matches of the series. The public and the sportsbooks oftentimes give the home team too much credit and that has been the case so far in this series.
The LA Lakers could not find a way to win in Boston 2 years ago in the NBA Finals however they took care of that curse in Game 3. The LA Lakers won an ugly Game 3 during which neither team shot the ball pretty well. The catalyst for the Lakers was Derek Fisher in the fourth quarter and the Lakers reclaimed the home court edge. Even if the Celtics win Game 4 and Game 5 they would still have to find a way to win another game in Los Angeles to win the title.
Before this series began the Lakers were about a 2-1 favored to claim the series in basketball futures and props. Those odds have risen with the Lakers winning 2 of the 1st three matches in the series including a win in Boston.
The NBA Finals have been extensively followed by fanatics throughout the world since the Lakers and Celts are 2 of the most well-known teams in the league. They are also 2 of the most storied franchises. The LA Lakers are thought to be the premier franchise in the NBA today, however the Celtics have won more titles in total. The Los Angeles Lakers have the finest player on the planet in Kobe Bryant, the finest coach in the NBA in Phil Jackson and they have one of the grittiest players in the game in Derek Fisher. It has all summed up to the Lakers having a pretty good possibility of defending their NBA title.
Right now, with the series at 2-3 in favor of the Celtics and the series heading to Los Angeles for the final 2 matches, the Lakers still have a shot at winning. But even Kobe Bryant is beginning to lose his cool. It does not seem as though he was planning on the series to get this far. However, neither did the Celtics. At the end of Game 2, which the Celtics won, Paul Pierce shouted triumphantly that the team wasn’t coming back to LA. Sadly, that proved to be false for the Celts. On the other hand, they did manage to claim 2 of the 3 home games in Boston, preserving the Celts on top in this NBA Finals series.
