NBA Best Bet Total
(NBA) Mavericks (DAL) vs. Celtics (BOS),
Total: 209.50 | -108.00 Over
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Mavericks/Celtics OVER

1) In Game Four the Mavericks finally rolled offensively and now, after a RARE dud from the Celtics in that one, I'm expecting offensive fireworks from both teams here in Game Five.

2) Dallas of course rolls in with a ton of confidence here after the huge win in Game Four at home. The Celtics had been rolling after getting a 3-0 series lead in this series after also dispatching the Pacers in four straight.

3) With a much closer game expected in Game Five now that we finally have a series on our hands, Boston sure to shoot better and Mavericks loaded with confidence now, we look for this faster-paced affair to fly well over.

T.M. Prediction: 115-108 Boston.
