Odds Checker: Take the Celtics to cover vs. Heat in Game 4

Jason Radowitz writes: "Ultimately, the Celtics shot a higher percentage from the field and got to the foul line double the number of times that the Heat did. But the Heat took 22 more shot attempts due to all of the turnovers by the Celtics. The Celtics need to minimize turnovers in Game 4. It's interesting because the Heat were turnover machines in the regular season for most of the year. The tables will turn a little bit in Game 4. Take the Celtics to even the series."

Top Bet: Celtics 104, Heat 101

It writes: "Boston shot itself in the foot in Game 3. The Celtics just couldn’t stop tripping over themselves with seemingly endless turnovers, which greatly affected their shot attempts. While the Heat had 92 shots from the field, the Celtics only had 70. Jaylen Brown finished with 40 points on 14/20 shooting but also had 7 turnovers. Nevertheless, that was an astounding effort from Brown, who became just the first Celtic ever to score at least 40 points on 70 percent shooting or better in a playoff contest. With the potential of Butler missing Game 4, there’s a good reason for Boston to believe that Brown will stay hot and keep on cooking offensively. It’s worth noting that Robert Williams missed Game 3 and might be out again on Monday because of lingering knee soreness. Jayson Tatum hopefully would wake up from his slumber after a 3/14 shooting in Game 3 for just 10 points."

Sports Information Traders: Celtics 110, Heat 105

It writes: "We have the Heat (+7) projected as the best bet in this contest. Our computer model has the scoring going over the total of 208.5 points, with the teams finishing with a final score of Celtics 110, Heat 105 once the game has been played."
