Next game I have Dallas +6.5.

This is a sharp bet. Everyone is on the Warriors in game 2, even myself felt that Warriors would easily beat the Mavericks in game 2, but my mind says that what if it's another trap, so I'll probably go with you mate, no looking back now.

Sometimes public wins, and personally, after seeing how the Warriors played in game 1, I think it would not be hard for them to repeat the same dominant win. Curry and Thompson do not start strong in this game, but Poole really is a big x factor of the team as he can always make a big contribution for the win.

In terms of offense Poole really gives great contribution to Warriors, but the defense of Wiggins and the

rest who are taking Luka brings the gap in game 1. If they will continue to give Luka a hard time, if they will continue also that
good rotations, covering the handicap is very much possible for fans and believers. It's just a matter of how you trust your
team before you put your bet,.

I will be going with the Boston Celtics, if Marcus Smarts, and Al Hoford can play that would be a good chance for the Celtics,

Marcus Smart is probable, but Horford is still questionable.
I suggest you place your bet before the tip in, or to be safe, bet during the live game so you'll verify if these two will play or not.
Celtics are good as a team, but we cannot deny that they lack big time during the first game and that is because Smart and Horford did not play.

I'm also thinking of betting on the Celtics in game two or at least the +3.5. It was just a performance by Butler in the first game, but definitely the Celtics saw what happened specially in the 3rd quarter. They had a good lead, but they just let the Heat takes over and they play sluggish in that stretch. And if Smart and Horford are going to play it might be a different outcome in game 2.

It was my understanding that Horford wouldn't be playing in Game 2, but may be back for Game 3.  I've also read that Marcus Smart will be back for Game 2, but will likely be playing with limited minutes as he is still not 100%.  With this information I'm tempted to say Miami will win, but you never know.  This is certainly their opportunity to build a lead before the Celtics are back to full strength.  So I guess if they can't win tonight, they probably aren't going to win the series.  I expect Miami will come out firing and looking to go up 2-0, but if Smart is back then it will be very different from Butler's 40-piece leading them to victory in game 1.

And this is what happened here, Smart come back and make it tough for Jimmy Butler. And if could the trend this series, until Jimmy's become aggressive again in game 3.

Happy that I bet on my instinct thinking that this will be not be the same Celtics that will appear in game 2. They almost played perfectly.

Next game I have Dallas +6.5.

Now the Heat needs to steal one game in Celtics' homecourt.
They need to if they want to make this a long series.

The big question is when? Game 3  or 4. It made the series more entertaining for us. I bet the spreads will also change drastically after that blowout game.

The odds are already out, Bostin is now -6 on their home court, but I would still not gonna bite it right away, this series is going to be a long one and I'm pretty sure that Miami Heat is also making a plan to do the right adjustment in game 3.

Wait and that is what I have done, thanks to both suggestions, and there is a little something for you guys, Marcus Smarts was very effective in the game, and this is a Boston Celtics comeback, they really prove that they can be very defensively and have proven to stop Jimmy Butler, and 3 guys from the Boston Celtics have score 20 plus points on the game, Sorry on @danherbias07 lost, the Miami Heat doesn't have the swag just like what they have in the 1st game,
Good one!
I didn't expect the impact Smart and Horford could provide when they are playing. That was a hell of a shock for the Miami Heat and they couldn't react to the sudden change.
1/2 for me as I also took the bet for the over 205.5. Luckily it hit and more.

Yeah, that's the smartest thing to do if you are rooting for the Celtics. Marcus Smart has a high chance of playing, but Al Horford may not. Better just wait when they call the names or while warming up.

I am betting for the Miami Heat -4.5 so I don't need to wait. I think that should be enough to cover again if they can perform the same way they did in Game 1. Just keep the energy high in the defensive zone and don't let Tatum get his rhythm. He will go hot easy once they give him that opportunity.

Miami Heat VS Boston Celtics (Game Tied 1 - 1) - WIN

The Return of Marcus Smarts has proven how effective he can be of use both Defensively and offensively, the game balance for the Boston Celtics has changed tremendously controlling the game so much that Jimmy Butler just only makes 29 points while both Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo have had 14 points, and the Boston Celtics have a tremendous comeback of Jaylen Brown with 24 points Marcus Smarts has a double-double performance of 12 Assist and 24 points  and Jayton Tatum with 27 points, making a comeback game win for the Boston Celtics,

Celtics are in a beast mode, with 25 points in the first half alone, being double digits down in the in the first half but still won the quarter by 11 points.

I did go on the under score, but it seems that the Celtics is shooting high percentage already. 9 out of 11 in the three point area, leading by 11 points in the first quarter.

I'll probably do some live betting after the second half, will wait and see how the Miami will settle down. Maybe this will be a repeat of the first game wherein they made a huge rally to win big.

The Under doesn't look really good right now, it's currently at 220.5 at half-time from what was 207.5 before the game, but being close to be a blowout win for the Celtics could help keep it under if they're not fast game as they did in the fist half.

My props doesn't look too good too, Oladipo with 0 points 0/2 attempts, but Robert Williams with 5 points already could help me get even, however he might get a very limited time in the 2nd half if the Heat are unable to make a run to keep it close in the 3rd Q.

Edit: Finished 1 of 2 with my bet tonight, Williams didn't play much in the 3rd Q and start out 4th Quarter but thanks to Erik Spoelstra for keeping Oladipo in the game even after emptying his bench and he finished with 14 points.

It's hard for Heat to recover at that huge lead and strong Boston right now but I hope for the success of your bet.
Even though there's still another half remaining I agree with you, it seems unlikely for the Heat could claw their way back when the Celtics' shooting percentage is close to 60% and half of those shots are three-pointers.

It's probably safe to say the Celtics got this win in the bag unless the Heat goes on a crazy 3rd quarter run similar to game 1.

I believe it's going to be an entirely different game from what we witnessed in game, Al Horford is cleared to play game which was unexpected before, and Marcus Smart is likely going to play too. I guess that's why the line is different from game 1's

I think it's gonna be another win for Heat, but I won't be putting any money on that.
I hope it's still the same though but with both Horford and Smart ready to play the moneyline did shift from 1.6 to 1.85 and the spread went from -3.5 to -1.5.

I already took Miami -3.5 earlier today hoping one of the two players won't play but I still prefer Miami at this point it just sucks that I could've gotten better odds if I waited until near tip off.



Surprisingly, Al horford and Marcus Smart is already in the game destroying Heat with 25pts lead on the 2nd half. Jayson Tatum is very strong when this 2 player is available because of the assist, rebound and score they contribute to help Tatum to get space and conserve his energy until the last quarter.

It's hard for Heat to recover at that huge lead and strong Boston right now but I hope for the success of your bet.

I don't find the Over 207.5 spread not so convincing either, even it hit effortlessly in game 1 but instead I'll be taking a few props on Robert Williams and Victor Oladipo

Robert Williams: Over 8.5 points @ 2.05

Victor Oladipo: Over 7.5 points @ 1.87

Tonight gimme Jimmy and the Heat at home only laying 1.  Think I'm gonna hit each home team in this series so long as nothing wildly changes

Smart and Horford are back in the starting lineup for Boston (with no minutes restriction), but like you, i'm on the Heat train and will take them on the moneyline.

So far in the playoffs Heat at home are +113 points and 7 out of 7, quite literally blowing out teams with an average of 16 points.  Shocked

With the way they're playing, this may be their year! They have twice as better NetRtg as the Celtics and Golden State, and they're also the only team to keep their opponents under 100 ppg in the playoffs (98.3). "Defense wins championships," as the saying goes.

...now watch them flop and lose homecourt.  Cheesy

I will be leaning towards the -1.5 handicap for the Heat in game 2. And this could turn into an ugly defensive game as both will try to lock in each players, Tatum (Boston), and Butler (Heat). So maybe a lot of fouls early and turning to be a very physical one. But both teams are build in this kind of game, but with the Heat's experience they can pull it off again, in a very contested game.

Just keep the energy high in the defensive zone and don't let Tatum get his rhythm. He will go hot easy once they give him that opportunity.
Tatum and Brown, are the top 2 players of the Celtics, if both will have a good offensive night, then there's a possibility that they will win in game 2. However, it seemed like no one could stop Butler, he has a very efficient stats in game 1. He's 12-19, and on the defensive end, he has 4 steals and 2 blocks, this guy is an all-around player.
Now we will see how the Celtics respond from the beatdown they took from the Heat in game 1.
I would imagine they will come out guns blazing but will walk away with the exact same results as the last time.
Only hope for Boston is if Horford and Smart come back in this series.
The odds are about the same from previous game a few days ago so the books are knowing that neither will be back in full minutes for tonight I am thinking.

I'm disregarding any analysis for now and won't be in my usual bettor mode.

I will just place my bet on the Dallas Mavericks regardless of the odds because I want to.

In the whole playoffs series, the Dallas Mavericks never won a Game 1 yet. I like them being an underdog for an odds boost. They might lose on this Game 1 but my bet is still for them. I'm really biased at Dallas Mavericks since then. Smiley

They got smoked.  Golden state on a home playoff game is tough to bet against.  Luka is gonna need a ton of help this series, not sure I can see how Dallas can come out of this series even if they take the next game.  Dubs are just too good at home.

I think this might be a sweep honestly aswell. Goldenstate is much better in every possible way and i think Luka Doncic cant play alone in this series against them. Hopefully they can win at least at home to try and make things intresting against the Warriors

Yeah I want to lean that way but I thought the same against the Suns.  I will give Dallas the benefit of the doubt just not in Oakland.  They need to obviously be able to sneak a win on the road I just can't see it.  They don't match up well against GS like Memphis did.  Gon a need someone to really step into superstar shoes for Dallas to have a shot....and I mean someone other than Luka obviously..
