Game One went well over the posted total, as the teams combined 228 points, Boston scoring the majority with 117 in their 117-101 upset win.
What went wrong for Philadelphia? How about everything, as they missed 15 of their first 20 shots they took, and they only went 5 of 26 from behind the arc!
What went right for Boston? How about an unreal performance from behind the arc, as they banged home 17 of 35 for close to 50% as they cruised to the win.
If I am a betting man, I would say no chance that Philly shoots that poorly again, and no chance Boston shoots that well for a second straight time. Still, I expect the points to add up in this one, as Boston is on a 5-0 Over run their last 5 games when playing on 2-days rest. The Celtics are also on a 6-2 playoff Over run in their 8 games played, and an overall 12-3 Over clip their last 15 since the regular season.
The 76ers have played 2 of 3 on the road this postseason Over the total, and 7 of their last 11 since the regular campaign also Over the total. Throw in a 7-3 series Over run, and Overs played in 7 of the last 10 in Boston when the teams meet, and I say stick with the percentages and play the Over in Game Two.
4* PHILADELPHIA-BOSTON OVER

My free play run is now at 65-57-2.
Play the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Los Angeles Dodgers in National League West play.
The Dodgers may have swept the Diamondbacks in the NL Division Series en route to the World Series last year, but right now the Snakes are slithering atop the NL West.
Arizona (21-8) has won seven of nine against the Dodgers this season and 13 of the last 15 regular-season games. The D-backs are also an impressive 11-4 at home this year. They'll be looking for revenge after a tough 2-1 loss last night.
The D-backs have won their first nine series - the first NL team since the 1907 Chicago Cubs to do so - and with a win tonight they will become just the second team in league history to win its first 10 series.
Arizona is rolling right now and will bounce back from last night's setback.
3* DIAMONDBACKS (straight action)
Eric Schroeder
I'm taking a chance with the huge underdog tonight, as I like the Baltimore Orioles to get it done over the Angels in Anaheim.
The Halos are recalling Jaime Barria from Triple-A to make his 3rd start of the year. I don't know why the oddsmakers think this right-hander deserves to be this big of a favorite, but I'd much rather side with the veteran on the hill for Baltimore.
Chris Tillman is looking for his second straight win after allowing just one hit in seven scoreless innings versus Detroit last Friday. The right-hander hasn't won consecutive starts since July 16-21, 2016. But he is 3-0 with a 2.84 ERA in six starts against the Angels.
Take the road pup and list both.
5* ORIOLES
