Boston is loaded with athletic offensive options, Top 10 during the regular season in scoring. The Celtics are 28-19 OVER the total against teams that average 88+ shots per game, and they face an uptempo Game 1 opponent. Toronto has been second in the postseason in scoring (126.3 points per game) after being #13 in the regular season, plus fifth from 3-point land (37.4%). The Raptors are off a 150-122 rout of Brooklyn and are 15-5 OVER the total away from home after two games where they attempted 90+ shots. Both squads are well-rested, and this shapes up as an offensive show. Play OVER the total.
