Miami struck lightning in a bottle and hit 23 treys while winning Game 2, but otherwise the Heat are no match for the Celtics, especially without injured Jimmy Butler. Boston easily won and covered Games 3 and 4 and can end the series on Wednesday. Boston won 102-88 on Monday as Derrick White scored a career-high 38 points and Jayson Tatum added 20 points for the Celtics, who held a 53-36 halftime lead and the game went UNDER by 14 points. Miami has averaged just 86 points the past two games and it shot only 41 percent overall and just nine of 33 from beyond the arc on Monday night. Miami is 10-2 UNDER against teams with .600 winning percentages and 20-8 UNDER overall on the road. Take the UNDER in the first-half as a Max Play, and play the full game to stay UNDER.
