Monday, May 23, 2022 at 8:30 pm
At 8:30 pm, on Monday, our selection is on the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat Under the total. The Celtics were upset by Miami, 109-103, on Saturday, and now trail in the series, 2-games-to-1. Off that upset loss, and with their back against the wall, I expect a much better defensive effort by Boston on Monday night. Indeed, NBA teams that trailed in a Playoff series, that were off an upset loss in a game which went Over the total, have generally rebounded to play MUCH BETTER defense in their next game. Since 1990, such teams have held their opponent to a lower point total in 86.9% of the games, and the UNDER has cashed 62.3%. Take the UNDER in Game 4. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
