10* OVER Celtics/Heat (BLOOD-BATH)

Both teams have been involved in several lower-scoring games of late, but the situation that each finds itself coming into this one, combined with some strong O/U ATS stats/numbers points to this number now being a TOO low. Boston is 14-9 on the road this year after B2B wins to open up this road trip. The C's have now seen the total go "under" in five straight games, but note that Boston has in fact seen the total go "over" the number in seven of its last ten (70%) after playing to five or more straight "unders" in a row. Miami will be desperate to snap a four-game slide after last night's 105-96 loss at home to Memphis. Note though that the Heat have seen the total go "over" the number in eight of their last 11 off a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite in which they were held to 99 or fewer points in. Look for defense to take a back seat here and expect this total to indeed fly "over" the number sooner, rather than later!
