Miami at Boston

The Boston Celtics got a much needed victory in game three to get right back into the series now down 2-1. They got a huge scare when Rajon Rondo went down with an elbow dislocation, but a huge emotional and inspirational lift when he returned to the court. Rondo will likely play tonight, and more than his ability to be at a 100% level, his inspirational value here is huge. Kevin Garnett had that look in his eyes like the clock was turned back five years, and he was dominating the Heat inside. Boston is a much stronger team at home. In the playoffs, Miami has had problems scoring here with three losses, scoring just 80, 82 and 81 points in the three played in Boston this year. All three games averaged a total of 171 points per game, and I don't see this one any different. The Heat is just 2-8-1 ATS following a double-digit loss, and Boston is 11-2-1 ATS as a home dog. Play on Boston and the under tonight.
