I think you've got to be betting Boston here.  While Miami is going to try and bounce back, there are just too many things on Boston's side at the moment.  I'd be a little worried to have money riding on the Heat after the way they looked on the last game.  I think with the defensive player of the year back, Miami is having a hard time getting the ball in the hole.  I'm expecting Boston to take all their home games in the series so long as they can keep their main guys healthy and Taytum keeps scoring like an elite player.
Thinking about going against the flow. I believe Jimmy Butler loves fighting back when being cornered. It's not an ideal bet but I guess it's my instincts telling me to go bet for them. Going for Heat ML.
They will play harder than Game 2, that's for sure. The defense will be better and I think Coach Spo does have a card up in his sleeve to provide a higher winning chance. Risky Moneyline but it will be worth it if they claim the win.
Over 206.5 seems to be an easy score to reach.

Edit: Look out!

Kyle Lowry might play. I also saw his name in player props.


Great news for the Heat, and actually, as per this update, I think it's already confirmed.

Kyle Lowry is on track to make his return for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics

The line has not moved significantly yet, but it doesn't matter now, it's still a great news for the Heat, so let's see if Lowry could give a good minutes for the Heat who were badly beaten in game 2.


I think I will just wait until game time, just to make sure that he will play. I don't expect him to be a big threat on the offense but only on the defensive side and if he will bring the ball, that would help the heat to have a good ball rotation. No Butler all the time, everyone has to stepped up as that's the only way they can match the Celtics' offense.

True, I think his presence might be enough though, Gabe Vincent is good no question about it, but when we talk about experience and leadership, Kyle should be the one stepping up. Maybe limited minutes of him to be in the court, but I would say that it will help a lot to drive the offense for the Heat. I might go with the +6.5 for the Heat. Maybe the Celtics will win this game 3, but it's going to be close.

Congrats mate, big win by the Heat, though Butler did not return in the 2nd half, but they still manage the win. Kyle Lowry only made 11 points but his contribution on the defensive side is very appreciated, he had 4 steals in the game, that's super good already.

For those who are worried about Butler status, as per report, he is likely to play in game 4.

Thanks mate, I was wrong though, I thought that it will be Jimmy to carry the team but it was Bam Adebayo who did it for them. Kyle Lowry too as I have said will be a big influence and surely he did a lot and contribute with his assists and steals to help them get a 2-1 advantage Hopefully Butler and Tatum can get back in game 4 and make the game very exciting.

Seems like everyone is thinking that Mavericks will win tomorrow, I guess I'm going against your prediction guys.

Therefore, I will put my early pick and I would still bet on the Warriors ML and +2.
Also betting in over 218.5. GL everyone.

Heat is on another level and I think this series will end in 5 games and personally , I see Miami taking the next 2 games and moving into finals.

Game from last night was a tough one for both of the teams but I'm glad we didn't see a game with under 90 points as that would be bad for an NBA game but awesome for basketball action as whenever low scores happens you even see 2 great defend teams or a lot of mistakes ...so both can be entertain.
Miami Heat is 6.00 if they can win the next few games to win the series.
However, I highly doubt they'll do that because Celtics aren't going to give that so easy on them.
I still remember when I tought Bucks will beat them in 6 but Celtics won the next two games, they are a good team, they won't easily give up.

Regarding tonight's game ...I find difficult for Mavs to comeback into this game but there is a slight possibility to win this game.
Mavs just have to win game 3 and the complex of the series will surely change.

I also lost on this game, riding on the -6.5 for the Celtics to win at home.

But it's a different scenario, Celtics this time starting slow and let the Heat established a good lead in the first quarter alone. Although they cut the lead to 2 if I'm not mistaken, the Heat is composed not to let this game slip away from them.

Marcus Smart injury is painful to watch though.  Sad

Looking forward to the next game: Warriors vs Mavs again.

But Marcus smart still managed to finish the game, so I presume that he is okay. Heat got the lead but the series is still not over, once the Celtics were able to tie it in game 4, this series will be more interesting as it's just going to be the best of 3 series.

Next game, Tatum has to explode, Brown alone could not help his team to win, he needs his buddy.

Boston Celtics VS Miami Heat (Heat Leads 1 - 2) - LOST

Lost the game today, but it was OK because these two teams really have given us a great game, No Jimmy Butler no problem for the Miami Heat and P.J. Tucker have played for this game, Kyle Lowry and Gabe Vincent as well, and the Celtics are having a hard time with Bam Adebayo this time while Marcus Smarts have Tripped and had a sudden pained but returned immediately but still limping a little, while Al Horford having a good game with a double-double performance, of 14 rebounds and 20 points, while Marcus Smart has 16 points, Jayson Tatum does only 10 points and Jaylen Brown was really the one creating plays has 40 points it was not enough for the Miami Heat have P.J. Tucker has 17 points, Max Strus got 16 points Kyle Lowry has 11 points and Bam Adebayo has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 31 points, a close game and steal a win on the home court of the Boston Celtics, and on the 4th quarter Jayson Tatum was down, I really don't know what happened between him and Victor Oladipo, but he was hurt and down,

I may have lost this game but it was sure a fun and competitive game to watch, I really thought that the Boston Celtics would pull a Golden State Warriors kind of win, but both teams lost their superstars, and let's see on the next game if what may happen,

2 of 2. Bam!

Yes, Bam! Bam Adebayo is the player of the game. Either don't use him or give him the ball more often. Coach Spo chose to use him and dominate the paint. It doesn't matter if it will just be deuce as long as the accuracy to shoot is higher.
Celtics though scared me there for a short amount of time cutting the lead by 1 but thankfully Strus made a 3 and that's it. Most of their shots went in, including free throws in the foul game.

I'm still taking the Celtics handicap even if the Heat got Lowry back since we saw last time how the Heat struggled against the Sixers on the road. Now with a much tougher team like the Celtics, I don't know if getting their teammate back would quickly turn the tides of the series but we'll see. I expect the Celtics to take the lead and most likely cover the spread but if the Heat suddenly gets revenge here then we might have a long series. I also have another bet on the -6.5 but it's a parlay with the spread as the last leg.



Heat starts strong and still holding good lead. Bam has a great game today!

But the best adjustment that they've done here is making a tough defense for Tatum, though Brown and Smart still
there Tatum's bad game affects them.

A turnover from Tatum mostly results in a good offense from the Heat, that rally in the last few minutes in the last
quarter almost tied the game, but Miami did great protecting the win.

I was thinking the Celtics had this series in the bag but Miami came out firing while the Celtics can’t seem to buy a bucket. Tatum starting the game 1-6 with some early fouls and the team isn’t shooting much better, currently 37% to Miami’s 52%… Celtics are also 2-10 from 3 point range. Hopefully the game turns around for them. It’s a game of averages so I think the shots will start falling for them eventually. Miami has a head start with a pretty good wary lead. Will be interesting to see how Tatum responds in the second half.

J. Tatum 20+ pts / J. Butler 20+ pts / M. Smart 1+ steal / G. Williams 1+ 3pt @1.86

Butler and Tatum to score 20 or more points, the Heat have yet to show in the series that they can stop Tatum (29 and 27 in game 2), and the same goes for Butler, who torched Boston with 41 in game 1 and 29 the next game, Jimmy has gone 20+ pts 11/12 in the playoffs. M. Smart to get at least one steal, i'm not asking much from the reigning defensive player of the year, am i? Smart has recorded at least one steal in each of Boston's home games in the playoffs so far. I also have Grant Williams, who gets a few open threes every game and is practically automatic from the corner.

A really nice betbuilder you've got there, G Williams will be getting extended minutes with Robert Williams out, and Smart should sure get a steal too.

I've got Daniel Theis on Over 3.5 Rebounds @ 1.66, He'll starting today and provide he can stay out of foul troubles, that should be an easy, I've also got an ambitious betbuilder with several options below, but I'm waiting on Binance to process my withdrawal, hopefully I'll be catch up before Sportsbet closes the line (a few minutes to go).

Edit: Missed It.

**Sorry for your bet @morvillz7z there is a big blow for the Heat, Jimmy Butler will not be returning into the game and this could be the game changer.

Snuck out the win here.  The scary part for mavs was they had Brunson do what he needed to do and Luka did his thing and they still couldn't get close down the end of the game.  Dallas just doesn't have the pieces to string out 4 wins in this series I don't see it. 

Gonna ride the home team in the ECF so as hard as it is for me as a knicks fan I'm hitting the Celtics hard.  They should be able to get at least one game at home if not both. 

My prediction for the Warriors and the Maverick's next game would be very biased, I really think even if the Mavericks would either win 1 game at home, the Golden State Warriors will just need 1 game win on the Mavericks court to really win in and advance to the finals because we all know how good Warriors are when they are in court advantage, and I guess the Memphis Grizzlies have much defensive strategy than with the Mavericks and Grizzlies doesn't really have the answer to what defense they will be needing, I guess the Dallas Mavericks is now thinking so hard on what they can do with game 3,


Great news for the Heat, and actually, as per this update, I think it's already confirmed.

Kyle Lowry is on track to make his return for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics

The line has not moved significantly yet, but it doesn't matter now, it's still a great news for the Heat, so let's see if Lowry could give a good minutes for the Heat who were badly beaten in game 2.


It is really great news for the Heat, and they really needed it, Kyle Lowry will be a great addition, or can be the other way around for the Miami Heat, I say the Miami Heat would be needing a P.J. Tucker right because they need to stop guys that are shooting, but Kyle Lowry would be a great addition with their firepower, and maybe if Jimmy Butler wants a comeback and retaliation from Celtics last win, then he will be heating up to really win this, but unfortunately I will still be going with the Celtics, Boston Celtics is well known with their defense and I have seen Jimmy Butler struggle so much that he just scored 29 points last game,

Kyle Lowry would likely play for the Heat, but unfortunately Heat has lost all of the last 3 games he's played in this playoffs, PJ Tucker would also be a blow for the Heat, while Robert Williams is likely going to miss out on this for Celtics, as he's no longer available in the players props.

I'll be going with Celtics ML and Over 207.5 @ 2.50 Odds

I'll be adding a few props prior to tip-off, I guess. I've got Marcus Smart, Herro and Grant Williams on my radar.

I think that's a good enough odds for Celtics and the over. If I'm not mistaken, in this 2 games, they have covered the over right?

For the player props, like that too, Grant Williams is playing better in their home court so it's probably better to include him as well maybe + Tatum for points.

Thats a really juicy odd on this combo for this match. Boston is really good at defence so they will need to score a lot more then usual aswell as Miami. I think Tatum will again be brutal in this match aswell like in the previous matches so far

When the crowd is heavily leaning one way I tend to go the other because books don't often lose but I have to lay on the Warriors here.  I don't see how the mavs compete on the road here.  Gonna need Brunson or someone to have an insane night just to compete, I don't see it.  Dubs -6.5 is my play here tonight.  Good luck all

Snuck out the win here.  The scary part for mavs was they had Brunson do what he needed to do and Luka did his thing and they still couldn't get close down the end of the game.  Dallas just doesn't have the pieces to string out 4 wins in this series I don't see it.

Same here, gonna ride with the Boston to win this game 3. Not going to be easy for them, but in the end, Tatum and Smart's defense against Jimmy will play an important factor. Not sure though about the like though, -6.5 for Boston? could this be a trap or bookies know that the Celtics are going to pounce the Heat?

And congrats to those who back up the Dubs at -6.5. I thought that is not going to be covered, but with so many weapons, they made a comeback from 19 points down to win game 2.
