The Boston Celtics are 5-4 straight-up (SU) and 4-5 against the spread (ATS) during the playoffs, including a 4-5 Over-Under record at home. 
The Celtics had won eight of their past 10 on the road, going 9-1 ATS for 90% winning bets before falling flat in Game 2. 
The Golden State Warriors posted their largest scoring differential in any playoff quarter in franchise history when they decimated the Celtics 35-14.

 

Will Boston Bounce Back from Scoring 14 in the third quarter in Game 2?

  • Road teams in playoff games coming off a win in which they held their opponent to 15 or fewer points in the third period are 31-37 SU and 36-31-1 ATS for 54% winning bets. They have a 37-31 Over record, good for 54% winning bets over the past 20 playoff seasons. Supports the Warriors.
  • If that road team is lined between a four-point favorite and a four-point underdog, they are 18-11 SU and 16-12-1 ATS. They have a 19-11 Under record, good for 65% winning bets over the past 20 playoff seasons. Supports the Warriors.
  • The Under is 15-9 for 63% winning bets following a playoff game in which one team outscored the opponent by 20 or more points in the third quarter over the past 20 playoff seasons.
  • Teams that scored less than 40 points in the second half of their previous playoff game are 20-18 SU and 23-15 ATS for 61%. They have a 21-16-1 Under record, good for 57% winning bets over the past five playoff seasons. Supports the Celtics
  • Teams that scored between 35 and 40 points in the second half of their previous playoff game are 18-13 SU and 20-11 ATS for 65% winning bets and 16-14-1 Under result spanning the last five playoff games. Supports the Celtics.
