Analysis

We're taking the Miami Heat to cover at home on Saturday in Game 3 against the Boston Celtics.

Rapid Breakdown

  • Not many people expected the Boston Celtics to lose Wednesday night's Game 2 against the Miami Heat on home court. However, the Celtics got absolutely shredded offensively in that game, giving up almost 50% from the floor, and 53.5% from three point range.
  • While the consensus is that Boston will be fired up to restore order in this one, it might not be quite so simple as Erik Spoelstra showed us last season in this very same series that he has the ability to nullify's Boston's quick passing game. With Miami's offensive numbers receiving a noticeable jump at home this season as well, this game may well prove to be a much tougher than anticipated assignment for the Celtics on Saturday.
  • The Heat are 5-0 ATS in their last five games when entering as a mid-range underdog (5-11 points), while the Celtics have gone just 2-5 ATS in their last seven playoff games when entering in as a favorite, stretching back to last season's series against the Miami Heat.
