Ok once again the Celtics are a road underdog by more than 5 points. I posted this clip below prior to Game 3, I have made the adjustments to reflect the Celtics win in GM3. Now this is NOT a lock merely some advice. You can be the Judge, did the celtics find their road winning touch or was it merely a fluke.
Detroit is 2-13 ATS last 3 years in the Conference Finals. Boston is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Detroit. Boston is allowing only 89.7 points per game overall this year. Boston is 5-1 ATS at Detroit the past 3 years. Celtics are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5. Celtics are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog of 5.0-10.5. Celtics are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Celtics are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games as an underdog. Celtics are 41-17 ATS in their last 58 games as a road underdog.Underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings. Road team is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. 6-2 is the Under last 8 Conference Finals games.
The UNDER is 16-5 in Boston's last 21 Monday games.
Now that You have read all this Look at this: Detroit is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U.loss.
Pistons are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 home games.
Detroit When playing on Monday are 7-3 and after a loss 8-2 last 10 games
Should be a rough and tough one to handicap, in what ever Choice you make weather it be Boston, Detroit, or the O/U Good Luck!!

Reason: adding a couple more trends found
Oh yeah and by the Way, this is strictly some information on the Celtics and Pistons, I personally am still up in the air on this one i'm leaning towards Boston and the Under.
Tough call! The UNDER might just be the more predictable outcome.
However, one wouldn't expect Detroit to lose 2 in a row at home to the same team. I would lean toward Detroit -6. They'll be playing with a sense of vengeance, which counts so much in the playoffs.
