The Celtics held a nine-point lead at the half but a 13-1 run by the Heat gave them the momentum needed to drop 46 in the third quarter en route to a 123-116 win and cash not only as 8 ½ point road dogs but as +300 moneyline hounds.
As of this early writing, the oddsmakers have bumped the line to Celtics -9 pretty much across the board. The conventional wisdom is that they will be amped up and looking to atone for their lackluster second-half performance and will win big.
Boston will likely win this game but Jimmy Butler won’t suddenly fall silent and the coaching mismatch that exists between one of the best in the business, Miami’s Erik Spoelstra, and the C’s rookie coach, Joe Mazzulla, is vast. Too many points to say no, so bet the Heat.
