From the Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest:

CELTICS/HAWKS OVER 187.5: The Celtics defense has been great all year, but they do allow a few points more on the road than at home, at 92.7 per game. Add in the 100.7 points the Celts are averaging offensively and their road games average 193.4 points, six points more than this total. Ths is the first Hawks home playoff game in nine years, so the could play a little over their heads early. Besides, they do average 101.8 points at home. Finally, the Celts defense may relax with the series well in hand.

ROCKETS/JAZZ UNDER 185.5: I had to find a second game to use for this contest, so why not? These teams barely sneaked Over in Game 2, but even with that, the Under is still 34-9 the last 43 times the Jazz have been favored in this head-to-head series!
