Magic @ Celtics – Game 6 Conference Finals Picks Against The Spread
Another NBA Playoff game, another win against the spread for the pros at FiveStarPick.com. After winning 11 of 12 plays against the spread for our members this week, including last night’s cash with the Suns +7.5, we are giving our members the spread winner of Game 6 in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals between the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics tonight at 8pm on ESPN. Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Celtics as 3.5-point home favorites with a total of 189. Our numbers reveal another sloppy line for the sportsbooks.
Orlando has forced the Eastern Conference Finals back to Boston after Wednesday’s Game 5 blowout (a FiveStarPick.com win), cutting the series deficit to 3-2. The Celtics look to close the series out tonight at home, but if they lose tonight, the Celtics may have a melt down and could lose the series after taking a 3-0 series lead.
Game 5 was a dominant performance by the Magic with a 113-92 win over Boston. The key to victory in Game 5 was that the Magic hit 52% of their shots from the field and 13 shots from behind the arc. Jameer Nelson completely schooled Rajon Rondo in Game 4, but things evened up in Game 5. Nelson put up 24 of the Magic’s points, while Rondo put up 19 for the Celtics. Dwight Howard was dominant in the paint with 21-points and 10-rebounds.
The Celtics almost lost center Kendrick Perkins for game 6 after he comitted his 7th technical foul of the season. NBA rules penalize players with a 1-game suspension upon their 7th technical foul, but the league reviewed the incident and took away one of his two technicals, giving Perkins a stay for tonight’s game. That’s a huge break for Boston because Glen Davis suffered a concussion and had to leave Game 5. “Big Baby” is listed as Questionable for Game 6, but we think he plays tonight.
The Celtics started the postseason with an 11-3 Against The Spread run, but have dropped consecutive games against the spread in Games 4 and 5. The Celtics are 7-3 ATS this season off an Against The Spread loss, while posting a 5-2 Against The Spread mark as a favorite this postseason.
Never before in the NBA has a team rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series. Only twice has a club come from 3-0 down to force a Game 7, but never in the conference finals. The Magic are now 4-0 over the last two seasons when facing elimination against the Celtics. The Celtics are 3-6 since the beginning of last postseason on the verge of eliminating an opponent, and all three victories have come at home.
