This is a 10* on OVER

Game 1 of this series went to overtime, so it ended up being an easy Over as the Heat won 117-114. You should note the Over was a winner by the end of regulation. Game 2, a 106-101 Heat victory, just stayed Under despite the losing side shooting 50% from the field. Boston also had a 13-point lead at halftime in Game 2. Blowing all of that in one quarter was a real shocker as Miami now is 10-1 SU/ATS in the playoffs, the only loss coming in overtime. The Heat’s trademark three-point shooting, which has been so big for them during this postseason run, was not that good in Game 2. They made only 32.6% from behind the arc. That they still won should frighten Celtics fans a bit. Down 0-2, you’ve got to figure Boston comes out strong here as they seek to avoid their first three-game losing streak in the bubble. Another loss would effectively end this series. But look for Miami’s three-point shooting, which is at 38.0% for the playoffs, to be better than it was in Game 2. The Over is 26-12 for the Heat off their previous 38 SU wins. Play on OVER
