10* UNDER Mavs/Celtics (BLOCKBUSTER)

We had a play on the "under" in Game 1, and if you didn't have a chance to read that analysis, we feel it's worth quickly doing so now, as for the most part, the logic and the reasoning behind that play, also directly applies to this pick here in Game 2 as well:

10* UNDER Mavs/Celtics (TOM) It's Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and the Mavericks on the road to take on Jason Tatum and company at home in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Boston is favored and we have a pretty low total overall really. But not nearly low enough in our opinion, With nearly 70% of the early public money anticipating a higher-scoring shootout, this play for sure appeals to out contrarian nature. The reason these teams are where they are right now has been because of its tough defensive play. Dallas was a bad matchup for Minnesota, but Boston has the players to slow down and disrupt both Doncic and Irving offensively. We say that the extra time off gives these talented defenses their legs back. This number is high, the play is the "under!"

Expect another hard-fought, lower-scoring defensive battle here in Game 2 as well; the play is the "under!"
