Default Love Boston +3 tonight

No boobie Gibson. Thats huge as he hits very high 3 point percent and is a great athlete. He is also very clutch at the end of games. I think Boston breaks through tonight on the road. Just got it at matchbook +3 -102 (ok -104 with commision). Good luck.

Furthermore I think the big lead the Cavs gave away last game in Boston really sunk their confidence. Home teams are like 20-1 in second round, this trend is time to be broken.

Proceed to Fade Away.

According to covers its 57% on the Cavs. This means nothing though.

Wagerline is the same as Covers. Same stats they keep. Same company. Who you got Pat?

James will score more so factor that in your handicapping.

Forget Wagerline, 62% of actual bets are on Cleveland. That said, I am with the "squares" on this one, as the home team is 12-0 in all Boston playoff games and I see no reason for Celts to turn things around here, as they have not even come close to covering on the road.

In the other game, 58% are on Utah, which gives me more confidence on my Lakers +4.

That line also moved 2 points with only 56% on utah right now, thats a huge line movement, and it's telling you theres a lot of money on utah.

One of the road teams has to win today, and I would rather go with Boston, than against a Utah Team that is 39-5 at home.

What do you mean Bruno? Line has DROPPED from Utah -4.5 to Utah -3.5 with higher pct of bets on Utah. That tell me sharps are on Lake Show.

Boston has shown absolutely nothing to suggest they can win on the road. The Lakers came back from 12 down with 3:00 left on this court to force overtime in Game 4, and one of Utah's five home losses was to the Lakers.

Bruno,

Yes it opened at -2, but only stayed there for half an hour before jumping to 4.5. I think today's move is more significant becasue of reverse full-point move with heavier volume of bets.

Got Celtics +3 as well, they snap their 0 - 5 streak tonight as they do not want to have a game 7 against lebron and the cavs. (hopefully)
