Basketball betting odds prefer the Celtics but Boston was not the best home team this season versus the spread. They were considerably better on the road so Orlando may be able to get back into this series. Orlando has started poorly in both of the first two games of this series and although they have made some nice runs, the Celtics have held on to win. Paul Pierce scored 28 points and Rajon Rondo had 25 points and eight assists in the Game 2 win.
Paul “The Truth” Pierce has been a starter for the Boston Celtics since he was selected by the team in the 1998 Basketball Draft. He is an 8-time NBA All-Star, attaining the title for each year but 2007 since 2002. He keeps the Basketball record for most consecutive free-throws made during the playoffs having a total of 21, and also the most free throws made in one quarter during the finals with 10. In 2008 he was named the NBA’S Most Valuable Player. Pierce once made the controversial assertion that “I’m the best player. There’s a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don’t cross that line but I have a lot of confidence in myself.”
Rajon Rondo was signed to the Boston Celts in mid-2006. Rondo has made a good showing and demonstrated to be a good asset to the Celts in the years since. He became the first Celtic to lead the league in steals in the course of the 2009-2010 season.
Orlando was predicted to win this series in NBA wagering but so far it’s all Boston. The Magic had won 14 straight games coming into this series but now they are on the ropes, falling behind two games to none. Dwight Howard made a showing in Game 2 as he had 30 points but Vince Carter missed two crucial free throws late and the Magic lost again.
History is not assisting the Magic in NBA gambling. The Celtics have never lost a series after being victorious in the first two games as they are 32-. Now they get to go back home for Game 3 on Saturday. “Our fans won’t let us relax,” said Pierce. “We’re going to try and close it out in four games.” The Celts are stating that they won’t relax now that they are headed home. “Just think our mind-set was to be ready for the type of intensity they would bring after losing at home,” Pierce said.
Orlando has been exceptional on the road these days as they are 6- ATS in their last 6 road games. The Magic are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 playoff games as an underdog. The Magic are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 competitions in Boston. Throughout the regular season Boston struggled at home versus the point spread, however in the playoffs they are more effective. The Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their previous 5 playoff games as a favorite.
Studying the total we find that the Under is 5-1 in the Celts’ previous 6 Conference Finals games. The Under is 4- in the last 4 meetings in Boston between the 2 teams.
