Boston v. LA Lakers GAME 5
Throwing this one down early as some money may effect the line. I don't care how I currently feel about this series and what has been going on. Boston may just put this away in 5. I originally thought 6 games figuring on Boston taking the first 2 at home and at least 1 in LA before winning it all at home. After the comeback the Lakers are down and possibly out of it. Kobe will be fine of course but how will his teammates play? At this point these guys have to be a little intimidated by the Celtics. I have followed this and Boston has covered in all 6 games against LA ths year. Four of those games were as dogs. The moneyline would've been a nice hit last game and I'm thnking of going all out in this one as this could be over. I always say trends are your friend in the NBA and with the Celtics covering 4 as dogs, 6 straight vs. LA and the under hitting in the last 6 Laker home games this is where my money and attention is going. Anyone can try to bet against these picks by the thought that the over has to hit and the Lakers have to cover. Not always, especally in the NBA. I think the under is the safest play as 1 of 2 things can happen. Number 1, the Celtics keep this one tight again, down to the wire in a defensive game, or number 2, the Lakers get revenge and blow out Boston holding them to minimal points. One of these 2 will happen. I personally think Boston is the way to go getting 7. Books think that LA actually still has a shot in this series. I'm going to finish this playoff out riding these plays hoping to cash big to end the week and the NBA season.
2.5* Boston +7
2.5* Bos/LAL Under 190.5
1.5* Boston +4 (1st half)
1* Boston $ +275
