2010 NBA Finals: Bet on Kobe Bryant To Score OVER 29.5 Points In Game 1

There's more to betting on the 2010 NBA Finals between LA Lakers vs Boston Celtics than just picking out a winner. In fact, there are quite a number of prop bets to choose from.

For example, in Game 1 of the 2010 NBA Finals held at Staples Center, you can bet on Kobe Bryant to score OVER or UNDER 29.5 points. Personally, I think Kobe Bryant can make 30 points against the defense of the Boston Celtics. Kobe Bryant is averaging 29.4 points per game throughout the 2010 NBA Playoffs. He was low in the scoring average against the defense of the Oklahoma Thunder, but Kobe Bryant averaged 32 PPG against the Utah Jazz and an even better 33.7 PPG against the Phoenix Suns, scoring 30 plus points in 5 of the 6 games against the Phoenix Suns.

Ray Allen might be able to keep up with Kobe Bryant in defense, but there is no one off the bench that will be able to guard Kobe Bryant. Michael Finley is too old, and Tony Allen is just going to get baited with fouls that will send Kobe Bryant to the freethrow line.

If the Boston Celtics opt to double-team Kobe Bryant, it might hinder him from making 30 points, but certainly it will add to his assists as open options like Lamar Odom, Ron Artest, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol can do damage.
