I fail to understand why people like 76ers here. One of the most important match-ups for Celtics today in terms of maintaining a decent playoff position and leading the Atlantic. Not to mention C's have been playing much better than 76ers. And Boston will not get swept by Philly this season. Boston also has to play Heat in Miami in couple days so I think they will try more desperately to get this win - knowing that they will have a 10x tougher time getting a win there.

C's haven't been very good on B2Bs, but the Sixers haven't been very good period lately. To be honest, I like the two totals more than the sides. Will probably just play those.

Agreed - they haven't been that good on a B2B but I feel the spread is low enough to beat the struggling 76ers. Not to mention the major 'revenge angle' working in favour of Boston here + home court. And this Celtics team is much different than what we've seen for the past few months - seems like they are playing much harder these days.

Yeah I'd stay away from the spreads on the PHI/BOS game. Under looks like the best bet for that game, but anytime you play an under that low you can easily get burned by FT's at the end of the game, or any small run.

One more total:

OKC/TOR under 197

I like your totals, under in Miami looks good, what you think?

I kind of like it too. It's down to 189 at most places now. Also Wade is out, a lot less fastbreak points for Miami. Pound LeBron over props if you can get them.

I can still get it at 190 at -105, on it for 1.5x. Pistons been an under machine and Miami will slow it down if it's a blowout a the half
