Friday NBA...

Picks:

Side: Bos
Total: Bos ov

Boston did not play very well last time out as they shot just 36.5% from the field and yet they still won by double-digits...LeBron looked tired....He denied it in the press conference after the game, but he was clearly fatigued during that game....If he is still even a little bit fatigued for Game 6, then Boston has a chance to close this game out....In the 17 Celtics playoff games, the home team has gone 16-1 straight up and the only loss was Philly losing to Boston in Game 3 of the conference semis and the Sixers gave that game away at the end....

Also, in the 17 playoff games the Celtics have played in, the team that won covered 16 of those 17 games....The only team that won and did not cover was Milwaukee in Game 4 at home in the first round....The Bucks led by close to 20 in that game, too....Could not hold the lead in the 4Q, fell behind by a point with less than a minute to go and then won by 2....

I am not making this play because I feel an away team is "due to cover", I feel like Boston has a legit chance to win this game, so I will take those 7 all day long....In game 4, LeBron and Cleveland played great, as King James scored 44 and the Cavs outshot Boston by almost 10% from the field and yet still only won by 11 and Boston had it down to 7 late....

So I will play:

Boston Celtics +7, laying $110 to win $100...
