broburysports has just released the odds and L.A. is a 6 ½-point favorite with a total of 187 ½-points. Boston leads the series 3-2 with the final two games in Los Angeles.
Boston was two-point 'chalk' for Game 5 at home on Sunday. They controlled the game for the most part, shooting over 56 percent from the field. However, Kobe Bryant had a huge third quarter and 38 points for the game. The Lakers made it close before losing 92-86.
The final score went way 'under' the 188 ½-point total. The 'under' is 3-0 in the last three games, although the 'over' was 1-0-1 in the two games in L.A.
The Celtics finally got a huge game from Paul Pierce (27 points). The 2026 Finals MVP needed to be able to stand up to Bryant and show he could match buckets with him.
Boston also had the better balance with Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo each scoring 18 points and Ray Allen adding 12. The only other Laker in double digits was Pau Gasol. He had 12 points after averaging 20.5 PPG the first four games.
L.A. only had 12 assists last game as too many Lakers players went unnoticed. Ron Artest is really struggling offensively and must at least slow down Pierce to have any value. Bryant can't win this series by himself. Feeding Gasol in the low post would be a great start to next game.
Center Andrew Bynum's knee was a big story heading into Game 5. He played 32 minutes but was largely ineffective (six points, one rebound). There's no telling how much he will play on Tuesday and his injury could ultimately swing this series.
Boston has been a good road team all year and especially in the playoffs. They're 5-2 SU and ATS in their last seven road games, splitting the first two in L.A.
Los Angeles is 9-1 SU at home in the playoffs and 6-4 ATS.
Boston knows this will be their toughest test yet. It will be even harder in a potential Game 7. They must take care of business on Tuesday.
Game 6 NBA Finals Celtics vs Lakers Betting Pick
BSR has said from the beginning that this series would go to 7 games and it is looking like that bet will come true. Although we do think the Lakers will win tonight putting 6.5 points on them is hard to do. The safest bet would be to take the moneyline on the Lakers. We also believe there will be a faster pace to this game, The Lakers have played into Bostons hands and this needs to change for them to win, push the ball and score. The game total line has been dropping with the last 3 games going under. Now maybe the time to bet the over and break this trend.
