The big Achilles heel all season for Washington has been when the Wizards traveled, and nothing has changed in the playoffs, which means Boston has to be the play. Why bet on something that doesn't happen? Especially in this series when the home teams have gone 8-0 ATS in the last eight meetings.
The series is tied 2-2, but there's no question Washington has been the better team. Brad Stevens will make good adjustments, and Isaiah Thomas will get more calls at home, but in the end this is going to be a very close game. Take the points!
Earlier I posted my play on the pointspread, but I also think there's value in this money line. In my simulations, the Celtics are winning 73 percent of the time. I'm all in on Boston on Wednesday.
With the series tied 2-2, I'll back the top-seeded Celtics to hold serve at home and cover this modest number. Boston is winning 63 percent of my simulations. Isaiah Thomas' tirade against the refs following Game 4 shouldn't hurt, either. Back Boston.
