Odds From Betonline.ag
The Miami Heat have controlled the Celtics so far in the series. However, the Celtics are playing at home and have played decent at times at home. Still, the Heat are going to dominate in the game here and prevent the Celtics from covering the 6.5 point spread and could potentially win outright I think, but it will be a close battle so definitely pick the Heat on the spread. For the total, both offenses shot good in the last game and with these two teams they have historically shot good in one game, but the next game were horrible in the shooting. Look for that to continue to be the case here and I see the game hitting the under.
