it is at +100 on 5dimes.
1. Russell averaging 23.4 points per game this season. I do not expect him to score above his average against a Celtics team that plays a slow place and has great defensive efficiency.
2. The over may be overvalued due to Russell coming off a 31 point game and 40 the game before that. On the other side of that, though, one could obviously argue he is feeling it right now and ready to go off again.
3. I know the Thunder, and Westbrook in particular in this case, are very young. They did have the night off last night as well. However this will be the Thunder's 3rd game in 4 days, and they play in Los Angeles tomorrow night. I expect the Thunder starters to be rested slightly extra if they are able to maintain a healthy lead the entire game, and obviously in a blowout we could see him out most of the 4th quarter. This is something to consider with the spread at 9.
That is all. I got fitty on it. Good luck on all your plays today everyone.
