Pinnacle now has East winner +470 to win. Minny was just +260 to +300 or so and with that was roughly +7.5 to +9 in road games and +1.5 to +3 in home games. Dooes it then stand to reason that that LA will be a bigger game by game favorite against Det/Indi than it was against Minny?

Home court is part of the reason for the discrepancy in series prices. If the Lakers had had home court vs Minnesota, I imagine the series price would have been much closer to what it will be vs Detroit (assuming Indiana does not come back). The Lakers have home court vs Detroit but not vs Indiana. If Indiana should come back, I would expect the Lakers price to drop a bit simply due to home court, though not nearly what it was vs Minnesota. The individual game lines between LA/Detroit would probably be very close to the LA/Minnesota lines.
