How many times must the Celtics be written off before we start to believe? Boston is once again a home underdog against a team it handled in Games 1 and 2, results that padded familiar trends. The Celts have covered in two-thirds of their home games this season and as an underdog, they're a riduculous 25-10 ATS. It's time to expect Boston to do what Boston does.

Apparently, Brad Stevens is only a "genius" when the Celtics play at TD Garden. Sarcasm aside, the youth-laden club's pair of poor showings in Cleveland proved it is susceptible to the challenges of road playoff games. This series is starting to resemble Boston's first-round affair against Milwaukee -- the opponent has the best player on the court at all times, but it also appears as though the road team might not win a game in the series. The Cavaliers' best chance for a road win will be in a potential Game 7. In Game 5, the script flips back in Boston's favor.

Each game in this series has totaled more points than the previous one, with 213 in Game 4. My projections see that trend continuing, averaging 215 through the simulations. That's well over the current Over/Under.
