10* NBA EAST-CONF FINALS TOTAL OF YEAR - MUST PLAY!
(NBA) Indiana vs. Boston,
Total: 224.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* EAST-CONF FINALS TOY on the UNDER Pacers/Celtics.

Dating to the regular season, these teams have seen the total go OVER the number in three straight against each other.

Game 1 was a barn-burner offensively as far as the total was concerned, with the Celtics holding on for the slim 133-128 OT win.

But I think the public is now quickly anticipating another high-scoring affair here in Game 2, and the oddsmakers know it. This O/U line is a few points higher than it normally would/should be.

70% of the early public money is already on the OVER, so this clearly appeals to my contrarian nature.

We're into single digits as far as the spread is concerned now, and if the Celtics have any hopes of covering this more manageable number, clearly, they'll have to slow the pace of this one down.

With the majority going one way, we'll go the other. The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
