00:00the renewal of a rivalry that we often saw at the very end of an NBA season in the Eastern

00:06Conference Finals. The Celtics at home as a double-digit favorite in Beantown against the

00:11Miami Heat. This game important for sure, but second leg of a back-to-back for Boston. Last

00:17night, DRS, it was the Celtics on the road in Cleveland. They lost outright against the

00:23Cavaliers. 1-15, 1-11. The Cavs now 18-3. They vault past the Boston Celtics for the best record

00:32in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland stands atop the table. Might Boston be able to bounce back

00:37tonight at home against Miami? Yeah, we'll see what happens tonight. Boston,

00:4310-point favorites and up from 7.5 here at the FanBlue Sportsbook. That's interesting in itself,

00:47but the total, 225.5, Ben, that look ahead line, now down to 220. The way you play this game,

00:52it's the 3-point shots, man. Keep it simple in this one. You know Boston wants to bomb away,

00:56but have you been checking out Tyler Hero for the Miami Heat? Six of his past seven games,

01:00a minimum of 10 or more 3-point shots taken. How about his last three games? Six made,

01:06four made, and four made. He's got to be included in your parlays tonight. And then the usual

01:11suspects here, of course, for the Boston Celtics. Not happy that it's a 10-point number, but could

01:15it be one of those aggressive games for the Celtics? Upset they lost? Absolutely. But I'm

01:19playing this from the 3-point line tonight, and Tyler Hero is going to be paramount in those 3-pointers.
