Premium Pick

Miami will have four days off before heading into Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final and the Heat have one of the best postseason coaches in Erik Spoelstra and he has guided his team through successful playoff series against Milwaukee and New York. Miami won the decisive Game 6 against the Knicks on Friday when Jimmy Butler scored 24 points, Bam Adebayo added 23, and New York was held to 38-percent shooting. The Celtics are in letdown mode after a grueling seven-game series against Philadelphia and Boston is just 8-9 straight up its past 17 home playoff games. Miami won and covered the last two meetings of the regular season and it has gone OVER 19 of 26 overall and eight of its past 11 conference final games. Also, the Heat are 16-5 OVER following a win and 8-1 OVER its past nine road contests. Take the Heat on this generous moneyline, and bet the OVER as a Max Play
