Total: 211.50 | -105.00 Over
Result: Loss
I'm on the Over 211.5 in Game 4 at home vs The Celtics, for these reasons:
- Because this is what the NBA wants to happen. They do not want a swept Finals. This could be the first Massacre of a Finals matchup, ever. This would be more embarrassing than losing game 3 for the Dallas Mavericks, so I expect to see more offensive quickness for the Mavs, who still haven't scored 100+ points yet this series. ITS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IF THEY WANT TO WIN A GAME. So I believe they do win this game and it can be a win for Boston too, but the Mavs will need to put up over 100 to make that happen and the total has only lowered by 2 points from game 3 and 4 points from game 1.
- Luka fouling out is what saved the Celtics and cashed our bet on the Celtics in Game 3. Dallas mounted a heavy 20 plus comeback and almost won, had it not been for their best player getting his last 2 fouls in the last 6 minutes of the game (and the last foul coming in the last 2 minutes). I expect Luka to he more aware of his fouling habits, to stay in this game for the entirety. You seen how much his presence made a difference in the way the Mavs role players were able to focus defensively and in the rebounding category all because Luka was doing the bulk of the scoring.
- Role Players for Dallas playing poorly, was the reason why Dallas lost games 1 and 2 but we quickly saw how they stepped it up in Game 3, PJ Washington finally getting buckets and filling up the stat sheet, Lively with his rebounding and interior offense help when Luka was double teamed, and even Derrick Jones Jr playing well enough to support the team. We should see another strong effort from the supporting cast.
- Tatum played much better than Games 1 and 2 in terms of scoring but he still shot 4 of 13 from deep and 11 of 26 from the field. It's just not his series to show how talented he is. However, this could be the game he plays the best, attempting to do the impossible and sweep a team in the Finals. I'm sure the Celtics will be looking to make history, but they could also take their foot off the gas so they can end it in Boston instead of in Dallas.
Official Play: Over 211.5
Side Bet: Derrick Jones Jr over 9.5 Points-Rebounds-Assists
Hail Mary: Mavs Moneyline
