The Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic will play for all the marbles, as the NBA Finals begin Thursday night in Los Angeles. The Lakers have been made -280 favorites to win the series and are 6-point favorites in Thursday's game. The total on the first game is 206.
The public betting is pretty even on the first game and the total has held steady, although it's likely to change as game time draws closer.
The Magic won both meetings between the two during the regular season and if they can continue to hit the 3-pointer, could give Los Angeles a serious run for their money.
