Lakers vs Celtics Lines NBA Finals Playoffs Wagering Odds

The Celts and LA Lakers Game 4 on Thursday night on ABC television had a 11.6 rating which is was the biggest rating of a Game 4 of the NBA Finals ever since back in 2004. This series has also been receiving higher ratings than it did in 2008. In the long run the la Lakers were out matched in Game 4 with Gasol and Odom only having 2 rebounds in the game and in turn the Boston Celtics' Davis handled the inside.

Both the Boston Celtics and the la Lakers needed terribly to win in this critical Game 5. Why? Because if the Boston Celtics lose then the la Lakers could have ended the series in Game 6 in LA. On the other side, if they lose, then the la Lakers will have dug themselves a deep, deep hole that they may not be able to triumph over.

For Game 5 the Celts were the preferred pick by a modest 53.9 % over the la Lakers. When it comes to the backboards they're even for re-bounding with the Celts 51 – 42 for LA Lakers and that data will certainly be a factor on NBA Playoff Wagering and the NBA Playoff Odds makers along with the shooting and 3 point leaders. The LA Lakers out shot 45.2 to the Boston Celtics 44.7 from the court in the shooting statistics - also quite close. The Celts completed 4 3-pointers while the la Lakers made 7 of the 3 pointers from the court. With the Boston Celtics having 12 to the la Lakers 15 turn overs, the turnover statistics are also quite tight. Look into the NBA Playoff Wagering lines and NBA Playoff odds!

The foremost concern for this game for the la Lakers was that they've got some injury issues mostly with their center Bynum. He only played a total of 12 minutes in the previous game and that allowed Boston's biggies the opportunity to score 54 points. If the Boston Celtics can get Ray Allan back on target and get a continued effort from Glen Davis and Paul Pierce they could have been hard to defeat in this Sunday night game in Boston.

And, of course, hard they were when the Boston Celtics won the game in a final score of 92-86. The Celts are now in the lead in this series with a series score of 2-3. It's hard to say who's going to take the NBA Finals now. Paul Pierce was a little arrogant back at the end of Game 2 in LA when he exclaimed that they weren't coming back to La following their victory there. Sadly for Pierce, the Celts lost one of their home matches, ensuring a trip back to La on Tuesday night. Conversely, they are only one victory away from claiming the whole series and then the NBA Finals championship.
