The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers will both be trying to pick up a win on Thursday when they battle at STAPLES Center.
Oddsmakers currently have the Lakers listed as 7-point favorites versus the Celtics, while the game's total is sitting at 186½.
Kobe Bryant poured in a game-high 26 points with 11 rebounds for a double-double on Tuesday, leading the Lakers to an 89-67 victory over the Celtics and forcing a deciding Game 7 in the NBA Finals.
The Lakers covered the 6-point spread while the teams played UNDER that game's posted total of 190 set by oddsmakers.
Pau Gasol also had a double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds for the Lakers. Ray Allen led the Celtics with 19 points in the Game 6 loss.
NBA Finals game 7 Betting Pick
The Lakers showed a dominating performance last game against the Boston Celtics and for the efforts are now favored by 7 points in tonights game. This spread seems a bit high for a team that has been battling head to head with Boston trading victories all series. Here at BSR we called this going to a game 7 with the Lakers winning it and we still stand by that statment. Will the win by 7 points is another story. I believe this spread is to high so to be safe and make a winning Pick I would go with the Lakers moneyline and the over. Boston will need to score to keep up with LA.
