Today's NBA Basketball Picks:
Game: Boston at Detroit (8:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Game Total UNDER 175.5 -110 (risk 4 to win 3.6)
Boston finally got their first road win in the playoffs, reclaiming homecourt advantage and taking a 2-1 lead going into game four. They clamped down on defense holding Detroit to 38% from the floor, and you can bet they will strive for a repeat performance tonight. Boston is 30-18 UNDER this season off a double-digit win. The Pistons are allowing just 87.3 ppg in the playoffs themselves and have gone UNDER 28-17 this season vs. winning temas. They are also 28-18 UNDER at home this season and 12-3 UNDER when the total is under 180. Trailing two games to one, they will be highly active and focused on the defensive end tonight as well. The Celtics and Pistons have played some ugly games in Detroit, as the last five have gone UNDER the total. With so much on the line here, and a history of game 4's in the Conference Finals showing 61% UNDERs the last four years we will back the UNDER in this one.
Game: Boston at Detroit (8:35 PM Eastern)Pick: 4 units on First Half UNDER 88 -110 (risk 4 to win 3.6)
Certainly all the elements of our full game writeup apply to the first half expectations. We also want to add that with a first-half total in this range, and Boston off the road win, defense has proven to be the focus. In fact, 40 of the last 53 in this situation, with both teams having winning records, have produced first-half UNDERs. That is an amazing 75.5% of the time. This season, the Celtics are 13-4 UNDER in the first-half as an underdog. Meanwhile, Detroit is 8-1 UNDER this season at home revenging a double-digit loss!
