Maybe they lay down and don't care. NBA is like that but no chance I could suggest Indiana.

This Celt team has issues. All season. They NEVER really went on a run.
They have played down to comp. They almost never put their foot to the throat of an opponent when they should.
I expect a Pacers victory tonight. and will be betting them.

A lot of big swings in point spreads. OKC has about a 11 point swing from game 1 to game 3. Big swing as you mentioned in the Indy series. Big swing in the Utah series, nearly 10 points. Had about 10 point swing in the Nuggets series. Think the big swings are pretty indicative of how the game will play out.

Just surprising to see the big swings in some but not others. Only 4 to 5 point swing in the Philly series, until Embiid was ruled out.

They go with bigger swings in the 2-0 series that they expect to go 6 or 7

you prolly don't remember last years playoff's very well lol. Boston went undefeated at home like 12-0 but were terrible on the road way below 500

They were down last game with a minute left. Pacers should have won last game.

Typical NBA playoffs. Books know the desperate situation and adjust accordingly. Pretty much makes the game hard to bet

The books have gotten hammered by teams at home down 0-2 with first half bets so they have adjust the spreads both half time and full game.

NBA lines often get skewed toward home teams down 0-2, same thing with OKC and Utah.

Yea but talent level never been the problem, I half way expect them to play much better more consistently in playoffs.
Indy probably win but just don’t think they win both these home games so think I’m just gonna do little chase after the plus money on the better team.

Try the OVER. It's really low, but for good reason, these teams haven't been scoring. I think they will tonight.

As for the game, it's Boston ML +125 or pass for me. I can't get excited about this Pacers team.

Bank, I agree. Playoffs are so different. BUT, @ home, they really didn`t impose any will on this Pacer squad missing their best player.
Celts win the series for sure. Would love to see them sweep, give them rest, let Smart heal a bit. Just have 0 confidence of them stringing together 4 complete games in a row. And it pisses me off.

Lol. I feel ya. Honestly I don’t think there much chance they sweep either. I just think they will take 1 at Indy, no clue which but at plus money I don’t mind doing a little chase if they lose tonight. I could just pass and wait for gm 4 but then inevitably they win this one and I’ll be kicking myself, lol. I use this strategy a ton in the nhl playoffs and it works really well, I’m not as confident in celts so just did a half unit here and prob go 1.5x on gm4 should they lose here. 2u about as much I’m willing to dedicate to them. Lol

11 point swing for home court seems excessive.
You're right. The marketplace is Inefficient and missed by a mile. Take Celtics +3 for all u got
(I hope u can tell I'm being sarcastic)

I actually did bet Boston +3. I gave the reason why the line is what it is, but that does not mean I agree with it.

op is right but you have to understand Pacers been missing oladipo for a long time and they still made 5 seed and celtics seem to have problems all year although they have a really good roster and also missing marcus smart

Pacers are frisky.
Took the huge hit early from C`s and end up winning first half.
C`s have had some horrific 3rd Q`s.
Think it will come down to Kyrie hitting/missing shots late.

I started blankly into the space as Indiana Pacers 1H ML went from .... whatever ... to +600, to +250 at which point I grabbed it. Nice outcome.

I think just hoops in general. I don’t do much live betting anymore cause it has just gotten me into trouble plus requires more game watching/paying attention than I’m willing. Lol.
Back in the day couldn’t tell ya how often I would have multiple plus money bets/points on both sides of ncaa hoops gm, love that shit!
