Sunday NBA Free Pick
(The Spread) – The Boston Celtics have had their way this season with the Miami Heat, but Sunday will be one last time for either side to get in a statement before the postseason begins.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Miami Heat 5.5-point favorites in the contest Sunday afternoon. The over/under total for the game is 183 and the opening tip off is set for 3:30PM EST on ABC.
The Celtics come into play with an overall record of 55-24 and they are 23-16 in road games. Miami is also 55-24 overall and possess a 29-11 home mark. The winner of Sunday’s game will have the inside edge for the second seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
According to the latest trends, the Celtics are 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings in Miami and are 25-10 ATS in the last 35 meetings overall. Boston is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 games as an underdog. The Heat are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games versus the Eastern Conference.
NBA Free Pick: It is really hard for me to go against Boston in a game of this magnitude. While the Heat have perhaps shown a tendency to be a little too jacked up for the big games on their schedule, the Celtics continually go about their business. Even though Boston has not played its best basketball recently and are still trying to get used to its new personnel, they are still a force to be reckoned with. The Celtics understand the importance of getting that number two seed and I’m thinking they have another statement left in them to deliver to The Big Three in Miami. My play is on Boston +5.5.
SUNDAY NBA FREE PICK: BOSTON CELTICS +5.5
