MY LINES..............................game 3
Celtics -4.85 over Warriors
game 3's with the series tied 1-1 is best to back the team that will win the series. Celtics trailed multiple times in past 2 series, that'd be the unconventional way to win a series, things like this generally return to the norm, and I'd expect that to happen in game 3, if the Celtics are to win this series they should get the win and very likely cover.
Both teams have the common denominators of past champs, with that said, either team could win the series, so we need to respect any team has those common denominators.
This season 3 teams had those CD's , Celtics, Suns and Warriors. Those 3 teams VS the rest of the league without those CD's are 7-1 at winning the series. Only the Suns lost to a team without them and this is very common year after year, rarely can a tean without the CD's beat a team with the CD's. These teams usually only beat each other.
So we need to respect any team with those CD's. Celtics are better overall but not by the minimum to make a team so much better. But in the playoffs is where the Celtics were clearly better then the Warriors so I'd give the Celtics the best chance to win the series. Play is on the Celtics.
