Celtics vs. Heat Odds
| 8:30 p.m. ETTNT |
| Spread: Celtics -7.5 | Total: 215.5 |
Well, the Celtics are not dead and buried just yet.
We know teams that go down 0-3 are 0-149 in league history. But the Celtics are already an outlier.
Just 18 of those 149 teams went down 0-3 with the first two at home, and 15 of those 18 were swept. Boston is now in a position only three teams in NBA history have seen, with a series favorite re turning home for Game 5.
Those teams won only one more game combined, but 0-3 is nowhere near as damning as 0-149. Boston is back to being a big favorite in Game 5, and the Celtics are a shorter price to come back and win the series (+220) than Miami is to win just Game 5 (+240).
