Boston went cold in the third quarter missing 17 of 19 shots at one point and the Celtics lost 95-93 to cut their series lead to 2-1. However, don't expect that to happen two games in a row as the Celtics haven't lost consecutive games since Feb. 28. Boston is 8-1 UNDER its past nine following an ATS loss and 7-1 UNDER its past eight playoff games as a favorite. Jayson Tatum is back in the lineup after missing Game 2 with a wrist contusion and he scored 36 points on Friday night. The UNDER is 5-0 the past five meetings at Orlando and Boston has stayed UNDER 15 of 20 against the Southeast Division. Orlando has gone UNDER six of seven home games. Boston is 44-28 UNDER in the first half its past 72 games and Orlando is 34-22 UNDER before intermission. Boston will come out with a huge defensive effort as it has held opponents to an average of just 92.8 points its past six games. Take the Celtics and the first half and game to stay UNDER.
