NBA Finals Betting Odds: Game Seven Between Lakers And Celtics

It is not often that a game seven is played in the NBA Finals. In fact, only three game sevens have been played in the finals in the past twenty-five years. Add in the fact that there are up to five potential Hall of Fame players that will be on the court tonight, and there is the makings of a classic game.

At the forefront of tonight's game are the teams that are involved. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics are the two most storied franchises in the league, and they hold the most NBA titles between them. Boston has seventeen titles, and the Lakers have fifteen.

Then, there are the individual story lines associated with the game tonight. Kobe Bryant is going for his fifth title, while his coach is looking to a record he already holds for most championships. The Lakers are also looking to repeat, something that has not been done since the San Antonio Spurs accomplished the feat.

For Boston, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett are seeking their second title in two years. Whichever team comes out victorious will stake their claim to being the dynasty team of this generation. Celtics coach Doc Rivers has hinted this may be his last game on the sidelines, and his players would like to send him out in style.

Online sports books such as Bodog have made the Lakers the favorite at home for this game seven. L.A. is favored by seven points, which is unusually high for a series that has been as back and forth as this one has been.

The game could come down to players that do not demand the spotlight with their play. Lamar Odom, Ron Artest, and Andrew Bynum for the Lakers, and Glenn Davis, Rasheed Wallace, and Tony Allen for the Celtics. The health of Bynum and how long he can be effective is one of the main keys to the game.

The history has been broken down and covered by every media outlet in the world, and now all that is left is for two great teams to hit the court one final time to determine this year's championship. The game will be broadcast live on ABC at 9PM. Enjoy.
