The two teams have gone Under the total in four of their last five games played in Boston. I see that trend continuing in this Game 7 where defensive intensity is sure to be at its highest.
I don't see both teams shooting as well as they did in Game 6 particularly the Celtics, who made 51.4 percent of their field goals. The pace actually was slow that game. There is a fatigue factor here this being Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals following the long season. So neither team is going to be playing up-tempo.
It's a huge plus for the Under that Kevin Love has been ruled out. He's a very good scorer, but a weak defender. Even with Love, the Cavaliers only are averaging 86.6 points during their three games at Boston in the series.
