I do agree that it is going to be a tough situation and not many people will guess which team will win. But, if you do 8.5+ for Heat, that means it would be the most likely result. Heat will try to get this game and rest for a few days, which means they will use all of their energy, all they have, until the last drop, and most likely that they will win this game, but even if they end up losing, the difference shouldn't be that much and we will end up with a good result if we bet that way.

The odds may not look that good, I understand people would rather see better odds, but Celtics with 1.31 is terrible, I may even end up betting on Heat straight up, they do look like they are good enough to beat Celtics, there is a reason they are 3-1 ahead right now.

I mean they might not make it but you are counting them out as if the game already happened.  This will be one of the toughest games Miami plays all year long.  Trying to win a closeout game on the road in Boston won't be easy.  They better get out to a big lead early amd take the crowd out of it otherwise they are in for a long game.  Now game 6 might be different bit if you think Boston is going to lay down like a sick dog you haven't watched enough playoff basketball to understand how it goes.  There is no guarantee Boston wins but it's not going be a Celtics loss because they just gave up.

Tough call but it will in the hands of the Celtics on how will they play the game later, will they let the opposing side dictate the game? Or they will stay in the aggressive side to force their way again? Let's see who will have the win at the end of the day. Both teams have their own reasons to win, for the Celtics, it's been a struggle for sure because they likely did not expect the Heat to be like this while the Heat did not expect too that the Celtics will still put a fight and try to settle a score.

For me, I will be with the Miami Heat. Good luck folks!

I am also going with the Boston Celtics right now there might be a good chance for them to get that win they may be playing at home but they don't have a good record when playing at home, but they expose the Miami Heat last game so they might get a chance in getting this win so I think it is a good decision for them to retaliate now,


1 more win and they could surely advance to the finals if I could see this I might at least give the Celtics some credit in exposing the Miami Heats defense, but the Miami Heat could also have an answer about this or the Celtics could break through I think this game will likely make it on game 6 for sure, so I will be taking the Celtics side,

My pick for tomorrow's game

Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat

It is game 5 for the Eastern Conference Finals and the Boston Celtics will be playing at TD Garden against the Miami Heat, with Heat on the lead Boston Celtics injury report Danilo Gallinari (knee) is out for this game and Malcolm Brogdon (forearm) and is questionable if he can play for the Celtics, while Miami Heat injury report Gabe Vincent (ankle), and Tyler Herro (hand), and both are out for this game against the Celtics, that performance for the Celtics was good they know they can not contest the Heat inside the paint so they are making shots outside and there is quite a lot of shots outside right now they surely made adjustments for game 5 so my pick is the Boston Celtics,

Same here. I took the ML while leaning on the Heat to win because I believe that if ever the Celtics will win the game later, it will be a blown out win and the handicap might be useless to do. But I reckon that it may not be possible because other than the fact that the Celtics doesn't have any homecourt advantage, they have already fulfilled their wishes and this time, they know that it's already done.

It's been a good run for the whole franchise but I do think they are already seeing the nearing end. Seems like they were just being overrated all this time because instead of bouncing back, they ended up choking in the most important phase in conference playoffs and failed to participate in the Finals again.

It is not really predicted the way this series goes, many have thought that the Celtics could not devise a tactical attack against the Miami Heat's defense but they have done it they got a plan for easy buckets and not driving through the paint, I think the Miami Heat will need an answer for this because if they can not stop the Celtics the Boston Celtics could get back all that lost they have,


1 more win for the Miami Heat and they could surely advance to the finals, right now this game needs to have an end because the Denver Nuggets will have pretty much an amount of rest when the finals start, then likely this could end badly for whoever won in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Denver Nuggets is surely a threat for both these teams for me they are the stronger team here in the NBA, for sure if they would give them enough time to rest they will surely bite in the finals 100%

Game 5 Pick

Boston Celtics VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 1.31 for the Celtics and 3.60 for the Heat, right now Danilo Gallinari has a Knee injury and can not play until May 27, and Malcolm Brogdon has a Forearm and is questionable for this game, while Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent is out and can not play for the Miami Heat, because the Miami Heat defense was exposed by the Boston Celtics it is not really looking good for the Miami Heat right now, they could potentially turn the tables with this one game but Miami Heat just need 1 more game and I think they can surely win this and eventually can pass the defense of the Celtics, so my pick is the Miami Heat and pretty much a tempting odds for sure,

I'm also taking the handicap for Miami Heat -7.5 @ 2.03 and for the moneyline @ 3.44 as well because why not, as you said, they will not just watch the Celtics control the game and there's a good chance too that they will force a win so that they can finish the series because the Nuggets already have a plenty time of rest. Making the series much longer will put them in a disadvantageous side.

It looks like most of us are in the same boat. Nice.

+8.5 for the Miami Heat it is. I am riding the boat and if it sinks, I hope you bring your life jackets. 
I mean, I do agree that the game might stay in a close game and I believe the Miami Heat will not idle here anymore and try to force a win maybe.
That's why I am also putting some money on the Moneyline of the Heat.
Also adding Over 214.5.
Player props: Jimmy Butler - later, it is not available yet on Stake.com, the lists only consist of the Celtics players for now. (tried refreshing but no avail, maybe it's still early) But I may go for 35-40+ PRA when it becomes available.

Good luck to us and I wish we won't hit an iceberg.

I tossed a couple bucks on the Miami Heat to close out the Boston Celtics tonight. I think Bston gave it their all last game to avoid a sweep and now it’s time for them to go fishing and leave the Finals for a matchup between the Heat and the Nuggets. I think the Nuggets will win that series fairly easily as Miami just doesn’t have enough talent.

This upcoming game 5 win be the chance of Boston Celtic's as the have the home court advantage and hoping that they can get closer to the series and push the leads in to 1 game if they will maintain their momentum and focus on covering with a good defense they fore sure they can win tonight but for Miami heat they will make a way to end this series tonight because giving a chance to celtics may cause a big comeback so they must end this tonight.

It's automatic; this is the right bet as Miami is going to bounce back strong. Haven't you thought of betting on the Miami Heat to win straight up? I think they really do have a good chance because they are up and have already won 2 road games, so this one is not going to be hard for them.

+8.5 is the correct play for tonight. Miami had a bad game 4 and will come out looking to close it out tonight. Don't get me wrong, Boston is going to bring it, but I don't see them performing like they did in game 4. I'd take the points tonight and if you are in a gambling mood, take Heat ML for a decent return.

But there's also a negative impact on live betting because, based on my experience, sometimes I get too emotional when betting live, resulting in losing my focus and becoming greedy until I lose my bankroll. I'm sure you guys have also experienced chasing your losses, and most of the time, it does not end well.

That's why it's important to always be careful and maintain discipline. At the end of the day, we gamble to enjoy ourselves, regardless of the outcome.

It is highly probable that the game will be closely contested, as the Miami Heat will undoubtedly make adjustments after being blown out on their home court. The pressure is also significant for the Celtics, as they are playing in a do-or-die game at home. This added pressure could potentially affect their performance, as they strive to avoid embarrassment but may struggle to execute their game plan effectively.



That's the beauty of watching the game live, as it allows us to identify potential betting opportunities, particularly when betting on the underdog.

Sounds good, +8.5 might work as even they'll going to play outside their home crowd. They always have that winning attitude,
if in case Boston will win, I also agree that it can be a close one.

Though knowing Boston, they are also capable of covering a big spread, if all the players will come out and show good defense and offense, they might win.

Also good to watch during live game and try to pick a bet. It adds up extra entertainment and excitement.

^^ I'll stay in the middle for a +8.5 for the Heat. I do agree, it might not be a blow up if ever the Boston Celtics will win and most likely the Heat are going to pressed again and play good defense. As for the ML, yeah, it's very attractive again, every Heat win is really that attractive if I'm not mistaken. Maybe we should bet live as well to see how the Heat will be in this fight specially if they become a huge underdog again and then make a comeback and win. But for now, I'm eyeing that +8.5 bet.

Good point, tired or they are too relaxed because they are on a safe lead while the Celtics still have the fighting spirit to continue and try to make a spark by winning one game.
But let's face it, once the Miami Heat goes back to the type of game they played in their 3 previous game, it will be difficult for the Celtics to win one more.
Right now, I bet Butler is pushing his team to end this series so they can also take plenty of rest just like the Denver Nuggets is experiencing now.

Tomorrow, Game 5 Miami Heat versus Boston Celtics.
What are your predictions?
Here are the odds.

I think it's safe to take that +10.5 for the Miami Heat because whenever they play well it's either they win or it ends up as a close game. The minus for the Celtics is kind of risky for me than taking the plus for the Heat because I doubt the Heat will let it be another blowout. Or for the risk-takers, an ML for Heat will be pretty darn satisfying. Yummy.

Easy money betting Denver this series.  I can't see either miami or Celtics giving them a real run.  Who is going to stop jokic out of those 2 teams.  The only team that matched up ok against Denver was probably the sixers.  With theor foul merchants they could have used that to get to Denver bench.  No matter the opponent I can't see more than a 5 game series.  Betting Denver every game in the finals.

I think that is the best thing they  can do, denied a swept, and it also denied history as well. This could be the first time that we might see either finals conference sweep. Lakers swept by the Nuggets, and the Heat has a chance, but the Celtics hasn't lost 4 straight in 2 years and they did exactly that and prevent that history putting their team on that.

Anyway, no team has ever comeback from 0-3 in the playoff. So the Heat has a lot of chance to close out the Celtics. Maybe in the next game we might see it. They are now 3.45 underdogs and that kind of odds we want to see for the Heat. Maybe they didn't trash talk Butler this time and not 'poke the bear'.

There are 2 ways you could rest, one is to win and have a break which is the smart one and would get you to the solution a lot quicker and should be done quickly. However, there is another one, where your players do play, and since you are 3-0 up, that means the other team can't win 4 in a row, never been done before in history, so they will play, and surely they will get tired, but you could give them lesser minutes to rest them, like Butler do not need to play this much on the fifth game, let him rest a bit.

That way not only they do not rest, but they keep in shape, whereas Nuggets are relaxing all day everyday. Good thing for Nuggets if they can pick up pace right away, terrible if they are no longer in shape and play the first game very badly.
