Game 4

Spread pick take  Dallas Maverick s 

What reasoning is there to take Dallas at this point? Celtics have thoroughly outplayed them, even without Porzingis and on the road in a must win game for Dallas.

I think Dallas blew their load in the 4th quarter, coming back to make it a 3 point game.  Then Celtics upped their game and finished them off.

It's over.  Only way Dallas wins is if Celtics decide to take the night off and want to win on home court, but I don't think so.  I think they end it tomorrow.  Celtics +1 is a gift.  If they lose tomorrow, double it up Celtics in game 5

Celtics and the under in all 3 games, despite little to no adjustment from the books.  Bettors are fixed on their numbers and the books are happy to oblige.  Celts/Under parlay looks good.

 Celtics look to sweep

i have a Celtics 4-1 series wager

Should I hedge to cover original bet amount in case of sweep?

Thanks!

they don’t give a shit where they celebrate. You can always tell who hasn’t played sports before…

Was thinking Celtics and over or Mavs and under 

@vaas187

Agreed.  Boston is finally on the cusp of getting their championship after they failed 2 seasons ago, and then got taken out before the Finals last year.

Why would they care to gentleman's sweep?  Al Horford might retire after this year, and then they have to lock in some upcoming Free Agents (some who might want to leave for more money) and now have a window to try to get another ring or 2 with this current squad.

Any serious team would not willingly take their foot off the other team's neck and will just finish them off.  Throwing a game on purpose at this point opens up the chance for Dallas to get back into it.  No team wants to be the one that dropped a Game 4 on purpose and then somehow becomes that team that let the other one come back down from 0-3.

If you bet Dallas this game, don't do it thinking Boston will intentionally drop one.  Either bet the better team (Boston), or bet Dallas because 1) their back is to the wall, 2) you think NBA/refs are gonna really cook for Dallas this game, or 3) you think it's straight up scripted that Dallas won't get swept because ratings/more games = more tickets/food sold and money for the league.

Nice

 Unfortunately, that hedge lost. Can Mavs take game 5 in Boston?
