ASA play on 8* UNDER 214.5 Boston Celtics @ Miami Heat Game 3 Sunday, 8:30 PM ET - WOW! That’s all I have to say about where this series stands with the Heat winning both games in Beantown to go up 2-0. We are not getting involved in a Side in this game but will make a small wager on the Under. The field goal attempts in both games have been below league average with 166 attempts in Game 1 and 172 in Game 2. The NBA average for FGA per game this season was 176. During the regular season the Heat owned the 9th best defensive efficiency rating allowing just 1.135-points per possession. Boston was 3rd giving up 1.115PPP. In the Playoffs the Celtics are allowing 1.130PPP which is obviously very good, but Miami has been better yet allowing just 1.117PPP which is 4th best. Also, in the postseason both teams’ pace of play has slowed. Miami’s last three home games finished with 191, 210 and 188 total points. Boston’s last three road games (in regulation time) finished with 181, 214 and 216 total points. We like both defenses to step up in this crucial game and it results in a total less than 214.5
