My NBA Best Bet for Thursday 6/12/2008 was:
| 9:05 PM ET on ABC NBA Finals - Game 4 Boston Celtics at Los Angeles Lakers |
| Best Bet: Boston Celtics +7.5 |
 The Lakers slipped back into this series with their Game 3 win, 87-81. Boston played a pretty poor game, yet they still hung in there and kept the game fairly close. I’m not surprised. That was LA’s first win in FIVE tries against Boston this season and the Celtics are a PERFECT 5-0 ATS.
So why has LA struggled against Boston this season? The answer is simple: defense. Boston is the best defensive team in the NBA, holding opponents to 89.8 PPG and 42% shooting. The Lakers are 0-7 ATS this season vs. teams allowing 43% or less shooting. The Celtics shot just 34.9% in Game 3. It should be noted that Boston is 9-1 this season following a game in which they shot 40% or worse. Boston is also 18-4 ATS over the last 2 seasons as a road underdog of 6.5 to 12 points. Yes, the Lakers are usually a good shooting team, but the Celtics defense has been up for the challenge this season. Boston is 15-6 ATS this season vs. teams shooting 46% or better. Take Boston +7.5 over the Lakers tonight. |
