The NBA Finals start on Thursday in Los Angeles. The Lakers are nearly 2-1 favorites to win the series (-190), while the bookmakers are offering a decent price on the Celts (+155). Of course, if you are like me and picked the Celts to win it all prior to the finals being set, you would have gotten a much better price than they are being offered at today… like +210. 🙂
