After many left them for dead after their game one upset loss, Boston has come roaring back to take homecourt advantage back. It hasn't been KG whose on the bench. It hasn't been Pierce or Allen either. It's been Rajon Rondo who is doing his best to change "The Big 3" to "The Big 4." On a bum ankle, all he's doing is averaging 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists per game in the series. The Boston defense showed up for the first time all series last game. Two of the three games between these clubs have gone UNDER in the first-half, including game one that ended with 208 points. As an underdog this season Boston is 25-11 UNDER in the first-half. They are also 25-11 UNDER in the first half vs. teams that average 100+ ppg. The Celtics are also 27-15 to the UNDER in the first half. That includes an 11-2 UNDER mark following a big 15+ point win and 9-1 UNDER when the total is between 100 and 105 points! I like this one to stay in single-digits in the first-half.
