Atlanta at Boston

Boston has nowhere to go but up offensively as it comes off an historically bad shooting performance in an 89-72 loss in Game 2. The Celtics scored seven points in the first quarter and shot 32 percent for the game while making only five of 28 three-pointers. Isaiah Thomas managed to score 16 points while making just four field goals and Amir Johnson added 14 points for the Celtics. Kyle Korver and Al Horford scored 17 points apiece for the Hawks, who only shot 39 percent themselves. The last 13 years, teams that are down 2-0 in the NBA playoffs have covered 55 percent of the time due to a must-win scenario in addition to complacency by the team that is ahead in the series. Also, the Celtics figure to shoot much better on their home court and will concentrate on getting off to a good start for the first time in the series. Game 2 went UNDER by 44 points, but the posted total is only about five points lower for this matchup. Play the Celtics and the UNDER.
