As we so often see in the NBA Playoffs, it's time for the home team to bounce back from a road loss following Philadelphia's 116-115 home court victory on Sunday. James Harden scored 42 points, including the eventual game-winning 3-pointer with 19 seconds left in overtime after Boston had erased a 16-point deficit. The total would have stayed UNDER had it ended in regulation time, and the UNDER is 12-5 in the 76ers' past 17 games playing with one day of rest. Four of the past seven meetings have stayed UNDER and the Celtics are 14-6 UNDER their past 20 conference semifinal games. Boston has covered nine of 12 at home and 10 of 14 overall and the Celtics are 7-2 ATS with one day of rest. More importantly, Boston is 6-0 ATS following a loss and 7-0 ATS after an ATS loss. Take the Celtics as a Max Play, and play the full game to stay UNDER.
