Premium Pick

Boston continues its remarkable run since late January having won 36 of its past 46 games, and the Celtics are 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 games overall (19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 road games). They had no trouble on Sunday while outscoring Milwaukee 61-38 in the second half, and the Bucks were held to four of 33 from the 3-point line. The Celtics keep finding new heroes, and it was Grant Williams in Game 7 as he scored 27 points with six rebounds and the Celtics hit 22 3-pointers. The game still stayed UNDER by 15 points due to a strong defensive performance for the second straight game by Boston as the Bucks shot only 36.6%, and only 91 points were scored in the First-Half. Five of the seven games in the series with the Bucks went UNDER, and Miami is 8-2 UNDER in its last 10 games, holding Philadelphia to an average of 87.5 points the last two games with both staying UNDER for the First-Half and for the game. Boston won and covered two of the three meetings with Miami this season. Play the Celtics ATS and also the First-Half UNDER for a Max Play.
