Stan James make the LA Lakers the 1/2 favourites to retain their NBA title against arch rivals the Boston Celtics when the Finals begin in LA tomorrow night.

Charlie McCann at StanJames told Bettingpro this morning:

"This will be the 12th time that the two most famous basketball teams in the world have met for the World Championship and the Lakers will be looking to retain their crown and exact revenge on a Celtics side who won the title in six games in 2008. Last year's Finals MVP Kobe Bryant is 4/11 to win the accolade for a second successive year having averaged almost 30 points per game thus far in the play-offs".
