Game 1 is Dallas, game 2 this is the Wolves winning to even the series.

Spread is high after their loss, but that's even more attractive to win as it tells me it's going to be a big bounce back win by the home team. I am expecting to see the kind of defense that win games for the Wolevs, and with that, this game is gonna go under.

my picks.

Wolves -5 Loss
under 207
Loss

Updated record 20(W)-22(L)..... 45%

On the upcoming game 3, I cannot fade the home team, I believe Dallas is really the better team as the Wolves could not hold on their big lead and allowed Dallas to beat them. So game 3 after winning 2 road games, I feel Dallas are more eager to finish the series on their home court, so my pick are.

Dallas -2.5
Under 206.5

I must confess that I love my current streak as far as the NBA conference finals is concern, it's been a positive streak so far for me... And hopefully I can keep running deep or to the end of the NBA finals, it's easier said than done, right ? Wink

Anyways, I'm on team No Haliburton, No Show tonight, he's arguably the best player on the Indiana Pacers roster, and TJ McConnell would have to take a lot of work load, probably with the assist or Andrew Nembhard who has been spectacular too, and the Rookie Ben Sheppard, However I don't think these players will be enough to penetrate the Celtics defense or inhibit the Celtics offensive prowess, I'm backing the Boston Celtics to yet again take care of business early and not take any chances at getting stunned..

Boston Celtics to win -2.5 1st Half Handicap @ 1.80 is my pick for tonight.

With Indiana's arguably best player sidelined for tonight's game, I think you have to take the opportunity to grab an easy win here with the 1.31 odds.  Probably not the most profitable bet, but I think this is one of those ones where you could bet the farm.  Granted, I'm not that type of gambler, but getting 30% on your money overnight is quite a temptation.  If there were a game where I could understand someone making a larger than typical bet, this could be it.  Not saying anyone should do that, but it will take a small miracle for Indiana to win tonight.

It seems like someone is not playing with the Pacers, be careful with your bet guys, consider this big news.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10122554-nba-rumors-tyrese-haliburton-out-for-pacers-vs-celtics-game-3-with-injury

Quote
The Indiana Pacers will be missing a key piece against the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton will not play against the Celtics on Saturday night due to a hamstring injury and his status for Game 4. "also remains in serious question."

I am not sure if the bookies are just trying to hype the people with the point spread now, because before it was not confirm that he was out, the line was like -7.5 for Celtics, and now it's only -7. Maybe because this is a very important game for the Pacers, but we've seen how bad their offense is in game 2 without Haliburton.

Timberwolves choked on their huge halftime lead, and they've given the Dallas Mavericks a 2-0 lead, right here in Minnesota... We saw the Wolves win 3 of 4 games in Denver, but this really is going to be a different series and they've put themselves in a despicable situation, while it's not an impossible task to even the series in Dallas, it's definitely going to be an improbable tough task to execute, especially with Kyrie and Doncic playing at their best, and both guys are terrific at closing out games just like it been very evident in both game 1 and game 2
Game 3 is the crucial game for the Wolves, if they lose game 3, the series is over for them. The Wolves are in a different situation as they are now 0-2 while in the Denver series, they were up 2-0. Losing two games in your homecourt might take away their much-needed confidence especially since Luka and Irving were playing great this playoffs.
Well, while I do believe that Wolves will win at least one game, right now they are down 2-0 while having the home court advantage, they supposed to win at their home court and lost both games. Now they are going to Dallas, and I feel like that is going to be quite tough situation to handle, I do not expect anything to change all that easily. I am not saying that we are going to end up with something wrong, of course Wolves could still win, but losing 2 in a row at home doesn't really give anyone that much trust on Wolves to win on road.

I still believe in them and will bet them to win next game, but at this point I am scared because they may end up losing as well, they are not looking all that great, close games and all.

I have not won anything yet for the Eastern Conference Finals series. I hope this time I can get it right.

Later we have a game. Here is my pick.
Indiana Pacers - Boston Celtics - Indiana Pacers ML @3.20 Risky, but I do hope the Pacers could win this home game.
Over 220.5 @1.75

The problem is defense. Indiana lacks defense because they always try to fight their opponents with speed and talent to score outside shots. They must try scoring in the paint more and defending better, especially against Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. If they can keep them below 30+ points, they might win this game.
They have a great big man at Myles Turner, they must use him more to dominate the paint since no Celtics are bigger than him, I doubt Al Horford can stop him.

Good luck everyone and have a nice day.

Yes, they need to work inside and use Turner as advantage instead of trying to keep answering Boston's offensive system, better to break inside and let Siakam to attack inside with him and Turner they can take advantage of much higher chance of making good shots, plus, just like you mentioned Pacers also needs to tight their defense superstars like JT and JB both are capable of doing the damage they need to give that sticky defense and not give them their confidence and feel that they are still in their comfort zone.

Let's cash that bet. (hopefully)

Turned out let's cash in again for tomorrow as that Wolves bet and under was a bad bet.

Anyway, stay positive on the upcoming game, we can bounce back from this loss. Tomorrow, I'm rooting for the Pacers to cover the handicap, there's no news year about Haliburton playing, but the line says he'll play, and in case that wouldn't change if he'll be declared out, that is even better.

I'm also thinking of betting the under 223 as the last two games went over, maybe this time would be different.

Game 3 is the crucial game for the Wolves, if they lose game 3, the series is over for them. The Wolves are in a different situation as they are now 0-2 while in the Denver series, they were up 2-0.
That surely is and in history, it's hard to do a comeback with that stat if they're already 0-3.

Losing two games in your homecourt might take away their much-needed confidence especially since Luka and Irving were playing great this playoffs.
And in fairness with the entire Dallas roster, it's not only them that works good. Even some bench are good as well and their twin towers.

Lively and Gafford, dude. If it's with offense, Luka will give Gobery a hard time. And if it's with defense, these twin towers are giving an headache for the entire Wolves.

I haven't yet won in the series of Pacers vs Boston and Wolves vs Dallas.

Now I'm betting again in Pacers vs Boson, on Boston now (The previous was Pacers).

Boston Celtics had a bit of fortune on their side in winning the series opener. Boston Celtics have already proven in 2 games that they are really dominant and can win against the Indiana Pacers. I'm Boston Celtics in this game 3.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks
Handicap (Incl. Overtime)
Dallas Mavericks (7.5)

Odds
1.74


That said, my bet for today is on the 1st Half Over 106.5 @ 1.85, hopefully the Wolves can get started well on the offensive end.



Another day, and yet another win for me Cheesy... 3 of 3 in the Conference finals so far for me... although, Jaden MacDaniels failure to hit at least one 3pt shot cost me a 7+ Odds betbuilder  Lips sealed

We both got our win! Congratulations.
Unfortunately, my over didn't make it before halftime due to that 17-0 run from the Celtics in the first five minutes of the second quarter. Still, Congrats on your bet.  Wink


I'm still giving the Timberwolves spread another go here since the last game was as close as it can get and I doubt the Mavs can pull off another 60% shooting day. The points might seem too much, but it's always easy for these two to start on a run to take control of the game.

Alright, I've got my bet in for the day.  I like both teams so the real winner here is me for getting to watch them play, but I think Dallas having a 7.5 point spread is a bit much.  Especially considering they won the last game.  I think they'll be able to keep it close again.  I still think Minnesota ends up winning this series, but I think it's going to be a battle of close games and tonight will be another one.  Hopefully they don't disappoint.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks
Handicap (Incl. Overtime)
Dallas Mavericks (7.5)

Odds

While I don't expect the Minnesota Timberwolves to go down 0-2 on home court, I like the Dallas Mavericks odds for ML @ ~3 Odds, I think that's of great value, However, I'll be going for the 1st Half Over here, simply because I can't pick a side without being biased and the game 1 looks rather too until shallow to draw a conclusive opinion from, I'm expecting a number of adjustments and at the same I'd like to see first hand what changes the Wolves will implement, then perhaps from Game 3 I should be good to go on the team to back.


That said, my bet for today is on the 1st Half Over 106.5 @ 1.85, hopefully the Wolves can get started well on the offensive end.

50% record,  you're even mate, but you'll not end up with that percent since there's still plenty of games to bet on. Hmmm.. what I like about your pick was the Wolves -5. I'm sure they'll make the right adjustment and will leave for Dallas with a 1-1 series score.

Let's cash that bet. (hopefully)

Sorry but I got to disagree with you because it was reviewed, not only 1 ref made a decision, it was a unanimous one and I think they know their job better, unless we think it was rigged.
You see from the top view camera angle and the ball clearly flips out from scope of the cylinder they usually make the judgement of the call. Believe they line it up in a cone formation to make the call.

Look at the screen below:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dVjr64E9l7k

So call it what you will. But watching it live like I did, you can see where the ball's trajectory was going and where he grabbed the ball to dunk it for the score.

Allow me to joined the discussion here. I also checked some video regarding that controvertial call by the refs, as you can see in
https://www.tiktok.com/@bleacherreport/video/7372023824172305707

And here's some of the comment that agreed with the call.

Quote
Yes because in replay you can see it’s an inteference, Kat couldn’t see it fair enough, Luka was looking under the basket he saw it

And this one could explain as well.

What is basket interference? Explaining controversial call on Karl-Anthony Towns in Timberwolves' loss to Mavericks

Quote
What is basket interference?
Touch any ball from within the playing area when it is above the basket ring and within the imaginary cylinder.

Offensive goaltending is rarely called. The shot Wednesday appeared to be leaving area of the rim, though it could have had a chance to hit the rim again on the way down, making it a close call for the referees.

So it was a close call, and since refs made the final decision, we just have to accept it and move on, besides, this is just game 1.


Take a look here: https://x.com/NBAOfficial/status/1793678297387147363

That is the official Twitter account of NBAOfficial and they have this very amazing technology where they can able to review the replay and take a closer look at the ring and ball. And it is showing that it's really a goaltending.

I'm backing the overs again the totals didn't budge as much (only by a few points) and this should be another close offensive match similar to the last game. One of the few things that don't look good here is how the Celtics always underperform in their second home game. If the trend continues for the Celtics and they suddenly underperform in this game, I hope it's during the second half.


I really like the Over here too, especially since these are best offensive teams in the NBA... However, the Celtics have lost game 2 in each of their playoff series so far this season, and I guess winning the last game by a whisker would have given them some form of reality check coming into tonight, they'll need to handle business early and I'm backing them to do just that.

I'm on Celtics -5.5 in the first half @ 1.88

GL!

We both got our win! Congratulations.

Although, I won mine by the slightest margin possible, despite Boston Celtics leading by a huge double digits in the 2nd Quarter, they almost didn't cover the spread due to inconsistency and some sloppy plays defensively, I'm just glad I was able to get all that actually mattered in the end, which is winning the bet  Cheesy

----------------

Boston Celtics finally were able to win game 2 for the first time in this 2024 playoffs, and Pacers lost Haliburton in the 3rd Quarter, I hope it's not a serious one and he'll be able to play in 2days time in Indiana, as there is just a day of rest between these games in this series. Not having Haliburton would definitely be the biggest blow for the Indiana Pacers, and I might just take the Celtics  to win ML in game 3 early once the lines opens, as I'll expect some decent odds of around 1.75+

I will be taking the +9.5 for Indiana Pacers, in game 1 they didn't disappoint us and they even have a good chance to steal Game 1 from the Boston Celtics.
I'm seeing a different scenario in this game, I felt that the celtics will make a huge adjustment as they gave up too many points in game 1. The defense was lost, I mean, they are a good defensive team especially at home, so while everyone is probably riding the hype of what happened in game 1, I going to the opposite direction as i think this will be a blowout win by the Celtics, additionally, I'm talking the under as well.

Same here, I'm feeling that the Celtics will not make this game close as Game 1 and so they will make some adjustments like playing defense and not allowing the Pacers easy scoring here.

With that I'm going to bank on Boston here at -7.5 @1.75 before the game. It's possible that they can cover this spread if the right adjustments are going to be made by them in this game. And they will still be led by Tatum and Brown. I'm just contemplating as who will be the MVP in the Eastern conference between this two Celtics.

So goodluck to all bettors.
