This is truly a "must win" situation for the Lakers as they face elimination as the series returns to their home court. This has been a series of adjustments and spurts and Boston is to be commended for their solid win in Game 5 that created a 3-2 lead in the series for the Celts. The price is too steep to make a money line play recommendation (Lakers minus 300). The points have yet to come into play in this series but tonight's spread is the highest of any game in the series. Still, the spot calls for a play on the Lakers who figure to play with intensity for the full 48 minutes and attempt to build momentum for a Game 7. As the end game plays out the Celtics might relax and allow the Lakers to expend extra energy once the outcome becomes evident. This is not to suggest that the Celtics will concede this game or that they will be non-competitive. Likely they will make several runs in this game. But the expectation is that the Lakers will feed off the crowd in the fourth quarter and break open what might be a close game after three quarters. Expect Lamar Odom and Ron Artest to be more involved at the offensive end of the court than they've been and for the travel and short turn around time to have a greater negative impact on the aging Celtics than on the pumped up and desperate hosts.

Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers Total
189 un-110 at BetUS > 7h.
The Boston Celtics found themselves in a 2-1 hole after three games in the NBA Finals, but dug in defensively and took the last two played in Boston this season. It has been the defensive resolve that has brought this team further than most thought they could manage. If you think about it, the Celtics have now played their last 17 games against teams that were supposed to be better than them, and are 11-6. They have accomplished this not on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, allowing just 91.6 points per game. LA knows it will have to match the defensive intensity to stay in this series and force a game seven. They have a track record against the NBA's top teams of doing just that as they are 9-3-1 to the UNDER in their last 13 at home vs. teams .600 or higher. The last seven between these clubs has seen just one top the total. I like the UNDER here.
