NBA’s Two Most Popular and Storied Teams in Finals
The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers have combined for 32 NBA titles and will face off
for the 12th time against each other for the league championship. In 2008 Boston – then with
home-court advantage – beat the Lakers in six games for title No. 17. But those Lakers
didn’t yet have Ron Artest as they do now or have injured big man Andrew Bynum, who will
play in this series despite another injury. L.A. has opened as a -180 series favorite on
Bodog’s NBA futures odds.
The key for the Lakers is to simply win that opening game at home, and Los Angeles is a
5.5-point favorite on Bodog’s pro basketball odds.
Teams coached by Phil Jackson are 47-0 all-time in a series in which they win the first
game of a best-of-seven series. The Lakers have won Game 1 in each round of the playoffs
so far this year and are 28-3 in their past 31 home playoff games. But the Celtics are
5-3 on the road in these playoffs and already upset two teams – Cleveland and Orlando –
with better records than the Lakers during the regular season. Can Boston pull another
upset as the +160 underdog on Bodog’s NBA props?
