    Al Horford (health protocols) will play Thursday.

    Status alert: Marcus Smart (foot) remains probable Thursday

    Tells me they think those two dictate the game heavily. The line only went up one in the heat's favor when they were announced out two days ago. Heat won semi convincingly so that's the only thing that makes sense.

    Tonight’s game opened at -5 two days ago… currently the line is where it was for game one… celts we’re the right side for game one UNTIL Horford and Smart we’re ruled out and the game went to -4.5.

    Like I said in another thread if you laid -3.5 early then u got a bad #. The spread is now -1.

    and imo the spread is too low (-3.5) for a team of that caliber at home with a full roster.

    However you look at it, the line move is scary for Celtics backers. Vegas is not in the habit of giving away money.

    Win or lose Boston is the right side for me only because if they don’t win tonight doubling down on them in game 3 is a no brainer, as long as there are no major injuries. If they win tonight, however, betting on them in game 3 would be a trickier proposition. At least that’s what I think. peace_5

    Dude…

    bookmakers don’t set traps or adjust lines for no reason… there is a reason why Heat is less of a favorite then they were two days ago. Sharp players move lines. Recreational money does not move lines.

    Last game heat -1.5

    but Al & Marcus were out heat -5

    Heat -1 now because Both expect to play

    Boston beat the Champs so LV gave credit to Celtics
