ASA top play on UNDER 222.5 Boston Celtics at Indiana Pacers, 8:30 PM ET - The first two games of this series flew over the numbers with 234-points (in regulation time) and 236 in Game 2. With the two Overs cashing rather easily we are seeing a lower number in this game of 222.5, which has been bet down despite more tickets and general public betting the Over? Boston has shot well in both games which is to be expected considering they are one of the best offenses in the league and Indiana’s defense is suspect. What’s surprising is that the Pacers have shot 52% or better in both games against this Celtics defense that is 2nd in the NBA in opponents FG%. Boston had the 5th best defensive efficiency rating on the road this season allowing 1.136-points per possession. They also slowed their pace considerably when on the road with the 5th fewest possessions per game when they were the visitor. Indiana is also playing much slower at home in the postseason with an average of 92.72 possessions per game compared to their regular season average of 102.29. With or without Haliburton we like a lower scoring game here.
