Boston Celtics at Miami Heat (Saturday)- Oddsmakers shifting Celtics vs. Heat odds

It’s a quiet day in the sports world with the NHL and NBA playoffs taking a break, but we’re up bright and early to get a look at the Boston Celtics at Miami Heat Game 6 opening odds.

The books opened with Boston set as a 3-point favourite on the road after the Celtics cruised to a blowout win on Thursday, marking the first time in this series that the favourite covered the point spread. Early bettors jumped on that early line with Heat action to move it to 2.5. Sports Interaction’s handle is split down the middle.

So, now what? In a series that feels like you’d have a better chance by flipping a coin one thing that feels relatively certain is that if the Celtics are going to force a Game 7, they’re going to have to move the ball around a lot. They had four different players score at least 20 points on Thursday with Jayson Tatum dishing out 11 dimes.

Bet Jayson Tatum over 5.5 assists on Saturday.

Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs – Justin Steele helping Cubs bettors

How about some Friday afternoon action from Wrigley? Cubs lefty Justin Steele has been a bright spot all season, sporting a 6-1 record to go along with a 2.20 ERA and has thrown at least six innings in each of his last five starts. Chicago is significantly better at home this year and has won each of Steele’s last four starts at Wrigley.

Bet Chicago Cubs to win today by at least two on the runline (-1.5, +119)

Charles Schwab Challenge – Justin Rose in the mix again

Justin Rose finished T9 at last week’s PGA Championship and opened with a 1-under round at the Charles Schwab Challenge yesterday. He looks like he could put up another nice number today and is playing with Jordan Spieth and Chris Kirk. Spieth’s wrist still seems like it’s bothering him after he shot 2-over yesterday, as did Kirk.

Bet Justin Rose to win his group in three-ball betting at +140
