Every NBA wagering buff is hoping for a fantastic series in the impending NBA Finals wagering competition but for all intents and purposes the NBA wagering probabilities experts and the sports wagering world at large have already handed this basketball wagering series to the los angeles lakers.

In fact, the los angeles lakers are the defending NBA wagering champs, the team's roster is younger, more gifted and has won more games (57-25 vs 50-32). The los angeles lakers have the best shooting guard on earth, a dominating trio of big men and youth on their side. The boston celtics have three older superstars and even more aged role players arriving off the bench. In writing the los angeles lakers win this NBA wagering probabilities matchup up in a landslide.

But before you give up on the boston celtics you must consider that the team's Big Three might be yet another year more aged but this trio has still been amazing to date in the 2010 NBA playoff wagering competition.

Bear in mind that, during the NBA playoff competition to date this year, this trio of All-Stars is averaging over 50 ppg. Paul Pierce leads boston in scoring at 19.1 each game. He's also contributed on the boards and is averaging over a rebound per minute (106 boards in 104 minutes). He's only gotten better as the NBA postseason probabilities competition has gone on and he'll surely be saving his best for last as he aims to collect his second NBA Finals wagering MVP award in three years.

Particularly in the second half of Game 1, Pierce was fantastic and concluded with 24 points and 9 rebounds on 6-13 shooting. But what's all the more extraordinary about these stats is the point that he notched all these stats with a ridiculous Ron Artest swooping all over him for 45 minutes of basketball wagering competition.

Artest might just be the biggest player on this Los angeles squad during this NBA playoff wagering series if it weren't for Kobe Bryant and Pao Gasol. These two players shredded the celtics for a combined 53 points and 23 rebounds, having their way with a usually imposing Boston defense. All three of the Celtic's stars combined had worse numbers than the combination of Bryant and Gasol. For Boston lovers going into Game 2, that's not a good sign.

Ray Allen has been sizzling from the perimeter during the playoffs and is second on the squad in scoring. He is averaging 16.8 ppg and landing a scorching 42.3 percent from behind the arch. Debatably the greatest 3-point shooter in basketball wagering history Allen has a chance to add to his heritage this series. He is also shooting 45.8% from the field which is all the more extraordinary taking into consideration most of his shots are jumpers for 15 ft or more.

Kevin Garnett is the core of this squad and the missing ingredient in past year's nightmare NBA wagering season. But he is back again this year, a year older, but healthy and ready to contribute to another Celtics NBA wagering championship. He's averaging just under 15 ppg (14.9) and over 9 boards each game. But his genuine input may be on defense and if he is able to close down Pao Gasol the celtics have real opportunity to bring home another NBA wagering banner in 2010.
