The set-up: The Celtics, Raptors and Bucks. It's not hard to picture any of these three teams as the Eastern Conference representative. All three teams possess the talent and experience to take down the Eastern crown, but in this particular contest, I think the savvy call is on the UNDER. Both teams can score. Both teams can defend. But I simply feel that from a situational stand point, this one sets up as a highly defensive affair, where full court pressure is applied and players risk life and limb getting into shooting and passing lanes.

The pick: Additionally note that Toronto has seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of its last ten playoff games after three or more days of rest. This number is just a tad high.

This is a 10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the UNDER Celtics/Raptors.
