The pivotal fifth game of the NBA Finals takes place tonight and the game is essentially a must-win game for the Boston Celtics, who are unlikely to be able to win two straight in Los Angeles. The Celtics opened as 3.5-point favorites, but the line is down to 2.5 at most sportsbooks. The total on the game is floating between 187 and 187.5.

The early money is on the Lakers, but that could change throughout the day, as the public gets a bit more involved in the game.

Steven Strasburg makes his second trip to the mound for the Nationals, and Washington is a -220 favorite over Cleveland, making the Nats the second-largest favorite on the board. The Yankees are favored by -320 over Houston, as Pat Hughes takes his 4-0 home record to the mound.

There are three more World Cup games on tap today, with Germany the best team in action today.

Today's play is up and is at Free Sports Betting Picks located in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
