Many of the NBA betting devotees are longing for an amazing series in the impending NBA Finals betting competition but for all intents and purposes the NBA betting odds authorities and the sports betting world in general have already handed this basketball betting series to the Los Angeles Lakers.

After all, the Los Angeles Lakers are the defending NBA betting victors, the team's roster is younger, more gifted and has won more games (57-25 vs 50-32). The Los Angeles Lakers have a dominating trio of big men, the best shooting guard on the planet and youth on their side. The Celtics have three older superstars and even older role players coming off the bench. On paper the Lakers win this NBA betting odds matchup up in a landslide.

But before you give up on the Boston Celtics you should give some thought to that the team's Big Three could be one more year older but this trio has still been dynamite to date in the 2010 NBA playoff betting competition.

Take into consideration that this trio of All-Stars is averaging over 50 ppg during the NBA playoff action so far this year. Paul Pierce leads the celtics in scoring at 19.1 a game. He's in addition contributed on the boards and is averaging over a rebound a minute (106 boards in 104 minutes). He's only gotten better as the NBA postseason odds action has gone on and he'll absolutely be saving his best for last as he looks to collect his 2nd NBA Finals betting MVP award in three years.

Ray Allen is 2nd on the team in scoring and has been sizzling from the perimeter during the playoffs. Allen's averaging 16.8 ppg and shooting a scorching 42.3 % from behind the arch. Allen is probably the greatest 3-point shooter in basketball betting history and has a chance to add to his legacy this series. Considering most of his shots are jumpers for 15 ft or more, it's pretty impressive that he's also shooting 45.8% from the field.

Kevin Garnett is the heart and soul of this squad and the missing ingredient in previous year's nightmare NBA betting season. But he's back this year, a year older, but healthy and ready to contribute to another Celts NBA betting championship. He's averaging just under 15 ppg (14.9) and over 9 boards per game. But his real contribution has been on defense and the celtics have real chance to bring home another NBA betting championship this year if he can shut down Pao Gasol.

Boston owned the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals early in NBA history as they won the first eight meetings. The Los Angeles Lakers won the next 2 meetings while the Celtics won 2 years ago. The Lakers remember well that loss to Boston and this is definitely a revenge series for Los Angeles even though the Lakers won the NBA title last year against Orlando.

However many of the matchup advantages in this series go to the Lakers. The Lakers have the best player in the NBA in Kobe Bryant, with apologies to LeBron. They have the best coach in NBA history in Phil Jackson and they have the home court edge. The Los Angeles Lakers are unbeaten at Staples Center in the postseason and the Boston Celtics could have trouble winning in L.A. Two years ago the Celts pushed the Lakers around but this is a much different Los Angeles team with Andrew Bynum who didn't play in the series 2 years ago and Ron Artest. The Celtics will not be able to bully the Lakers this time.
