2010 NBA Finals: Bet on Kobe Bryant To Score OVER 32 points

Can Kobe Bryant score OVER 32 points in Game 2 of the 2010 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics?

YES! Without a doubt! Kobe Bryant averages 29.5 points per game in the NBA Playoffs. In Game 1, oddsmakers put a prop bet if Kobe Bryant would go OVER or UNDER 29.5 points, and he scored 30 to go OVER. This time, the oddsmakers stretched the bar a bit to 32, and still I believe Kobe Bryant will go over 32 points.

In his last 3 games, including the last two against the Phoenix Suns in the Conference Finals, Kobe Bryant scored 30-37-30, making it an average 32.5 PPG. Considering this trend, I'm pretty certain that Kobe Bryant can make it 33. After all, he will be playing in his home court Staples Center, and he is certain to score big there.

Besides, just like I said in Game 1 - the Boston Celtics do not have an answer on the defensive end for Kobe Bryant. Ray Allen and Michael Finley will tire trying to guard Kobe Bryant. In Game 1, Ray Allen got into early foul trouble, and Tony Allen just couldn't match up against Kobe Bryant. Paul Pierce tried his hand at defending Kobe Bryant, but that just left the middle very vulnerable for the big forwards. Also, Paul Pierce is just a bit slow to guard Kobe Bryant.

Bet on Kobe Bryant to go OVER 32 points !
