Today’s Sports Betting Picks – Tuesday, May 22nd
Miami Heat at Boston Celtics Game 4
Game 3 was a huge statement win for the Heat, who, as underdogs, earned a 128-102 blowout over the Celtics, and now lead 3-0 in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals.
The Heat are one of two teams left in these playoffs that remain unbeaten at home. They’re 6-0 at Kaseya Center and have gone 5-0-1 in the second half of their home games.
Heat vs. Celtics Over/Under
All three of these games have gone Over on the total, so expect this one to do the same.
Best Bet: Over +216
Heat vs Celtics Game 4 Winner
Nothing would thrill Heat fans more than having their team’s Cinderella playoff run continue with a sweep win at home. Miami’s second half performances through the postseason have been the best of all playoff teams, with a margin of victory of 6.3 points. Even if the Celtics manage to force a Game 5 with a victory, history is not on their side to pull off a series win. No NBA team has rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a series.
Best Bet: Heat -125
Dallas Stars vs. Vegas Golden Knights Game 3
The Vegas Golden Knights are now 2-0 in this series, which makes them just two wins away from their second appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals in just six years of being a franchise.
Both Game 1 and 2 of this series went into overtime, and Dallas Coach Peter DeBoer is convinced returning home for Game 3 will turn the tides. “We could’ve won both games. They held serve at home. We’ve got to go and do the same thing. The positive piece is that we played a much better game on Sunday, and if we play that type of game, we’ve got a chance to win when we go home.”
Fun fact: This past Sunday was the the first time in an NHL postseason that each of the first four games of the conference finals went into overtime.
Best Bet: Take Dallas (-148) and UNDER 5.5 goals
