Premium Pick

Orlando leaned on its defense to get a Game 3 win, 95-93, but the defending champs bounced back with a 107-98 win in Game 4 to take a 3-1 series lead. Boston didn't shoot well from 3-point land (9-of-31) but still won on the road by nine points. Orlando's defense was No. 1 in the NBA during the regular season in points allowed, on a 36-24 run UNDER the total. Boston's defense was No. 2 in points and shooting allowed, on a 19-14 run UNDER the total. They can close it out in front of the home fans and get rest for banged-up Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday. The Celtics won the first two of this series at home by an average of 13 points and have no interest in making another road trip to Florida. Play Boston ATS, and bet this game UNDER the total.
