Miami at Boston

The Miami Heat held serve at home, winning both games to start the series and take a 2-0 lead. They are  heading to Boston for game three tonight. Boston looked like a tired team in game one, but put together a solid game two effort that saw Rajon Rondo play all 53 minutes of the game, scoring 44 points. However, it wasn't enough. Despite the Celtics best effort, they still ended in a hard to swallow overtime loss. This is a team that struggled to even get to this round with a seven game series in each of their first two. They have had trouble putting together good games consecutively and the rest in this series is short at just one day, which is working against them. The one thing they do is work hard on the defensive end and that has been a staple for them. But, the shots are just not falling and Ray Sllen is a non-factor with his ankle bone chips. The Heat is often thought of as an offensive team and with Wade and James they certainly can score. The fact is just one team out of 27, over the last two years before the championship round, has scored 100 against them, which is quite a feat. That defense coupled with an offense that scored 100+ last game, sets up a pair of things here. The Heat are 17-4 ATS in their last 21 after scoring 100+ and 5-0 to the UNDER after allowing 100+ in their last game. They are also 27-9 to the UNDER on a day of rest last 36. Boston is 9-2 to the UNDER in their last 11 after allowing 100+ as well. Play on Miami and the UNDER.
