Bucket Line
*Celtics -1.5
*Clippers 1st Half -5.5
Boston Celtics -1.5
3:30 PM Pacific
Just when you thought the defending champs were down and out, they throw a cross-court pass and drain a triple with a classic catch-and-shoot to win game 3 with no time left on the board. How exciting was that! Well, that gave the Raptors early lean at the books. They opened this line at Celtics +2, and we played it at Celtics +1. **Sharp players have been all over this game with 95% of the money coming on the Celtics. *The Celtics are above 50% in all metrics ATS this year and are an astounding 6-1 ATS in the playoffs. Smart money is on the Celtics -1.5 today.
Los Angeles Clippers 1st Half -5.5
6:00 PM Pacific
Game 1 was exactly what we expected. The Nuggets came out firing, but ultimately the fatigue of playing a tough seven-game series got the best of them and the Clippers took them down. We will see a more rested team in game two for the Nuggets, but the Clippers are just better. They are a top defensive team in the league and have two potential Hall of Fame players who can take over at any time and lead the team in scoring. Patrick Beverley returned in game one and brought Jamal Murray back to earth, scoring only 12 points. Jokic lead all Nuggets scorers with 15 and we anticipate these trends continuing. Clippers will get out to a lead at the half and we are playing the Clippers first half -5.5.
