At 8:30 ET, my NBA Playoff TOY is on the Under in Game 1 Of the Finals. The Mavericks haven't played since May 30th. That's a long stretch in between games. They are 5-2 to the under when playing with 3 or more days off. The Celtics' gap in between games is a lot longer than that. They haven't played since they held Indiana to 102 points way back on May 27th! That long break will help them get Porzingis back from injury but it will also very likely lead to at least a little offensive rust.

Dallas is allowing 103.9 points per game in the playoffs. Boston is allowing 101.3 points per game in the playoffs. Boston is 12-7 to the under its last 19 tries in the finals. Over that time, Dallas is 8-4 to the under in the Finals. This season, the Mavericks are 12-4 to the under when off an upset win as an underdog. Play on the Under.
