2010 NBA Finals Celtics at Lakers Game 6 Odds & Picks: The NBA Finals are back in Los Angeles tonight as the Celtics look to capture their second NBA title in the last three years.

The Celtics brought the Lakers to the brink of elimination on Sunday night with an 92-86 game five victory. The win put 
Boston, a team that was not expected to even make it out of the conference semifinals, up 3-2 and on the cusp of another NBA title.
The Celtics defense, once again, dominated the Lakers offense, holding them to a miserable 39.7 percent on 78 shot attempts. Only Kobe Bryant, who had 38 points on 13-of-27 shooting, and Pau Gasol (12 points) were able to score in double figures against the Celtics stiffling pressure. Los Angeles poor shooting also carried over to the charity stripe, where it hit only 17 of its 26 attempts.
Boston, on the other hand, was highly efficient on offense, hitting 56.3 percent from the field while dishing out 21 assists (Lakers had 12). Four players reached double figures in scoring for the Celtics, led by Paul Pierce's 27. Kevin Garnett scored 18 points and grabbed 10 boards while Rajon Rondo also dropped in 18 points and handed out eight assists.
The Lakers averaged just 88 points per game in their three games at Boston, which led to them trailing in a series for the first time in these playoffs. Bryant and company should experience an offensive turnaround tonight at the STAPLES Center, where they have averaged 117.6 points in nine 2010 postseason games. Los Angeles will send the Finals to a game seven this evening with its ninth home win of the playoffs.
2010 NBA Finals Betting Odds: The Celtics are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 games as a road underdog with a spread between 4 and 7.5 (Over 8-2).
