The NBA Finals resume tonight, and the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers are running out of time to take control of the series. Already, the best of seven series has been reduced to a best of five, and that makes tonight's game all the more important for both teams.

Conventional wisdom would say that the Celtics have more pressure to win tonight. If Boston loses, they would have to win two consecutive road games to win the title. The Lakers know that even with a loss, they can hold serve at home in L.A. and come away from series as champions.

Crucial to game five will be how much Andrew Bynum can play. If he can give the Lakers quality minutes, L.A. stands a good chance of taking two of three from the Celtics in Boston. If Bynum cannot be effective, that evens the playing field for the Celtics.

Lamar Odom will be another key for the Lakers. Odom has not been a dominant presence on the boards, and his scoring has also disappeared during the finals. If Odom can have just one big game in the rest of the series, it would bode well for the Lakers.

Boston will be hoping that Glenn Davis and Nate Robinson can duplicate their amazing performances in game four. The Boston bench has a clear advantage over the Lakers bench in this series, and that difference was glaring when the Celtics bench took over the fourth quarter of the last game.

The betting line for tonight's game, according to Bodog , is Celtics -2. The total for the game has been set at 188. game time is at 8PM from Boston, and the game will be televised live on ABC.
