Betting On The NBA Finals
By SPORTSBETTING.COM
Now this is an NBA final matchup we can get excited about. It is with great pleasure that we?ll sit down in front of our TVs tonight and embrace the fact Tim Duncan and crew will also be watching the final on TV. Hey, the Spurs are a great team, and deserve respect, but they simply don?t move the ?excitement? meter much. But this Laker-Celtic matchup has it jumping.
LA certainly looked better making their way to the finals, as the Celtics struggled to put away inferior opponents and for most of the playoffs looked awful playing on the road?and this was vs. Eastern Conference teams that would have been lucky to grab a playoff spot in the West (yes, even the Cavs).
That choppy ride is a big reason the Celtics find themselves healthy underdogs to win the championship (+160). Since the series price went up on the board at SPORTSBETTING.COM the wagering pattern has mirrored the odds, with LA receiving about twice the action (68% of all the volume) as of Thursday morning.
When it comes to the opening game of the series, the Celtics are favored by 2.5-points at home. They have been a very tough team to beat on their own court, starting from game 1 of the season and continuing through the playoffs.
Bettors are split on the opener, although a little more Boston money started to show up late Wednesday, pushing them to 55% of the overall money wagered on the tilt.

NBA Finals MVP
It?s the usual suspects attracting most of the money (Kobe, Garnett and Pierce), but Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol have hustled up their share of the pie as well. The Big 3 account for 65% of all the betting action on this prop, but Gasol has grabbed 16% of the overall total volume and Odom has 12%.
It looks like bettors are thinking that Boston will have a level of success defending Bryant, keeping him to moderate numbers, which will allow one of the other guys to step up and hit shots.
Here is the full list of odds for the MVP of the Finals:
Rajon Rondo (Celtics) 20 - 1
Derek Fisher (Lakers) 20 - 1
Lamar Odom (Lakers) 15 - 1
zx Field (any other player) 15 - 1
Ray Allen (Celtics) 15 - 1
Pau Gasol (Lakers) 12 - 1
Kevin Garnett (Celtics) 4 - 1
Paul Pierce (Celtics) 4 - 1
Kobe Bryant (Lakers) 1 - 3
