LA Lakers at Boston Game 1 Free Play (Erik Scheponik)
LAL/BOS UNDER 192.5
Although not the value that was available with the opening number, still think that this one is priced slightly too high. Sure, both regular season games went OVER, but the Lakers defense has sured up in a big way since then, and you would expect that from a Phil Jackson contender at this time of season. They are allowing only 43% from the floor and 32% from behind the arc during these playoffs, and two of their series were against offensive juggernauts Utah and Denver. The Celts’ regular season defensive numbers were some of the best in recent memory, and that has continued into the playoffs at 87 ppg, 42% FG, and 32% 3FG. The Lakers will be the toughest offense they’ve faced, but with defensive aces Garnett, Rondo, Pierce, and Posey, they will make LA earn everything here, especially on this floor. Boston 95-91
