The Miami Heat continue to shock and amaze as they have a commanding 2-0 series lead after winning both games in Boston. I wouldn’t necessarily rule the Celtics out just yet, but I also don’t want to bet them as road favorites in Game 3 Sunday.
So let’s look at the total. The first two games went Over, the first one easily (239 points) and the second barely (216). I think we’re in store for the lowest scoring game of the series as the scene shifts to South Beach.
Something that should frighten Celtics’ fans is that their team shot well in the first two games (basically 50%) and still went 0-2. I don’t see them shooting as well on the road. The C’s were actually 27 of 44 on 2PA in Game 2 (61%). No way they are repeating that.
The last four times Boston has visited Miami, the Under has cashed every time.
For Miami, it remains to been seen whether or not Jimmy Butler can keep this ridiculous run going. The Heat don’t have a ton of reliable scoring options besides Butler. The Celtics did hold the 76ers under 90 points three different times in the last round. 10*
