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.

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.

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.

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. 

I'm also worried to ride on the Celtics with a high spread as I believe Miami will make the right adjustment in game 3, if they'll lose, at least they have a chance to cover the spread. Tucker will play in game 3 but Lowry is still questionable, hopefully he will play though.

Having Marcus Smart and Al Horford on the team really made a big impact on the game, and I have known some who were very supportive of the Miami Heat have shifted to the Boston Celtics after that game 2 the Boston Celtics are now the favorite to win, and on stake.com the odds are 1.36 for the Celtics while 3.25 for the Heat, even though that the odds are higher for the Celtics right now we can not say for sure if the Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler is long gone, and P.J. Tucker is questionable if he can play, this is basketball, after all, anything is possible, for this game

Here are my picks for tomorrow's game and the 3 games in the eastern conference finals

Boston Celtics VS Miami Heat (Series Tied 1 - 1)

Stake odds for this game are 1.36 for the Celtics while 3.25 for the Heat, right now Sam Hauser can not play for the Celtics, while Nik Stauskas is questionable if he can play, and for the Miami Heat side, Kyle Lowry, Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, and P.J. Tucker is questionable if they can play for the Heat, well that Marcus Smart blow has definitely had a big impact in game 2 and if the Heat could do the same if Kyle Lowry, Gabe Vincent, and Max Strus can also have a big impact when they returned then this could be a close and will be an interesting game to watch, but my pick will be the Boston Celtics because they are playing on their backyard, so there can be an advantage with that and Marcus Smart and Al Horford can will still be playing for the Celtics,

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.

here is the result for today's game, and it was a close one for the Dallas Mavericks but they just blew it again,


Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks (Warriors Lead 2 - 0) - WIN

Pretty much in the first half that this was a loss for the Warriors, but they keep on coming back and showed their fans a little faith will surely do, Reggie Bullock has 21 points, Jalen Brunson has 31 points, while Luka Doncic has 42 points, getting the 1st half of the game but it was not enough for the Warriors had a double-double performance of Kevin Looney by 12 rebound and 21 points, Klay Thompson got 15 points Andrew Wiggins got 16 points, Jordan Poole got 23 points while Stephen Curry has 32 points winning and leading the Conference finals against the Dallas Mavericks, and just like I thought that the gameplay of the Mavericks will be somehow changed and they will have motivation from that lost, but again the and so are the Warriors there are 13 turnovers for the Warriors while the Mavericks have 12 but they still end up winning the game, that is why I can not wait for game 3 and it will be on the Mavericks turf,

Well, you win with this bet and your speculation was right. I was supposed to bet -9.5 GSW yesterday but I decided to follow this suggestion to be safe. Guess what, Warriors lead by 9 and my bet was almost burned today. Mavericks is always good during the first half but they can't handle anymore the Warriors during the second half. Warriors is reserving their energy for the 2nd half while Mavericks gave their 100% in the first half and the result is clearly visible considering the difference of their score in both the 3rd and 4th quarter of the game.

Despite Mavs lose, Luka Doncic still showing an impressive performance to carry his team but it's not enough to beat on fire Warriors. Their best chance is to do what the Warriors doing and give their best in the 2nd half.

2nd half is a big difference when it comes to the Warriors. Told you guys.
The Mavericks cannot keep their big lead. It was 20+ if I remember correctly. But that bench team is amazing and made a big difference at the start of the 4th quarter. Looney and Porter. These guys contributed well in times of their need. Ball distribution is better now although there's still a mountain amount of turnovers. There's still a big room for polishing.
2 of 2. Now Mavs are in a must-win situation in Game 3.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the Warriors more as well, I don't think this series would be like the same against Suns for the Mavericks, the Warriors have got so many facilitators, and it's going to take more than just a Luka Magic to get a win here, I however believe that Dallas Maverick might cover spread, even if they lose the game.

I'm think of going with the Under 214.5 because I think this might be another low scoring game.

EDIT: I got a prop on Max Kleber P+R+A Over 12.5 @ 1.76

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

I also have the Warriors at -6.5. It will still be the same formula, Wiggins to guard Luka early and make his work on defense. Then let him operate in his sweet spot at the left and then flank him when he goes inside. If he find the open team mate and they making shots then Warriors will adjust. If Mavs are going to shot poorly again, then maybe the Warriors can win in double digits and make it 2-0.

If they will surprise the Warriors today, then we should take the Mavericks ML. The current odds for Mavs is 3.10, that's very attractive if you really think Mavericks will be able to pull an upset on the Warriors' home court. I hope Luka's shoulder is okay, because they cannot win if Luka is not feeling 100% in this game since he is the main scorer, if he cannot move well, that would affect the production of the entire team.

Mavericks have already experienced a blowout loss before but they always respond with a blowout win as well. This series might be different though, so let's just see if the Mavericks will bounce back after a bad loss. I can see that the Warriors will just do the same strategy they employed in game 1, so it's up to the Mavericks now to make the right adjustment to make sure they'll win.

That's the thing, shock the Warriors, well, if they can do that, they will be the first team to beat the Warriors on their home court in the playoffs. It happened yesterday on the Celtics vs Heat game, Heat got their first loss at home in the playoffs, and not only a simple loss, but it's a blowout one.

No one expected this outcome they never thought that Marcus Smart and Al Horford's return would pretty much impact a lot for game 2 I just made a wild guess that the return of those two would change the playing field just a little and I really never imagine that they will have a big of an impact for this game, Marcus Smarts really controlled the game, that Jimmy Butler has stocked his score to 29, but I can not say for sure what may happen in-game 3 if Boston Celtics can continue playing like this or the Miami Heat will have a way in gaining momentum again in game 3, and you are right this is really getting more exciting as the game progress,


Thanks, I have managed to put some bets before the match started and that game really never lets me down, I thought that the game was going to be close but men the Boston Celtics really is firing up, and Marcus Smart really controlled the game, Miami Heat had so much turn over, that they didn't realize it at all,

Now, Here is my pick for the game that I have been waiting for and the team that I love to watch the most

Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks (Warriors Lead 1 - 0)

Stake odds for this game are 1.38 for the Warriors while 3.15 for the Mavericks Injuries for both teams are still the same, and going with the game I think the Dallas Mavericks will surely put their game up, but knowing the Warriors playing at home this could be a struggle for the Mavericks because this could be a repeated game like the game 1 the Golden State Warriors will surely win this one,

That's the spirit!   Although I am betting against it. Warriors -6.5.
But I am intrigued by how the Mavericks will be adjusting to this game. They don't need to go back to their homecourt to show it. Do it as fast as possible and shock the Warriors with how flexible they can be and their bench.
Expecting a close game in the first half but we know how magical the Warriors can be in the 2nd half. Splash brothers are still not showing their true performance yet.

Yes they did got the 1st half but it wasn't a good run still and when the 3rd quarter began, they just cannot bear the huge difference because they really lack when it comes on defense strategy and Jayson Tatum cannot carry that burden alone while transitioning on the offense. Even they got a good chase on the 4th quarter, they cannot still keep up because of the huge score that the Heat made on 3rd quarter.

I hope that @YuginKadoya managed to put some bets on the Celtics because Al Horford and Marcus Smart was there playing alongside Jayson Tatum. These 3 players stated did good and impressive play on the 2nd game against the Miami Heat, they just got defeated on the 1st game because Jimmy Butler was playing easy as the defensive player of Celtics wasn't there.
