    Someone Explain This Celtics Line
    Are the Celtics really catching 4.5 at home against a young Philly team? I know Brown is out, but still seems like a lot.

    Books have been pretty high on Sixers given their recent lines. Double digit faves over Miami and they were 3-4 point faves on the road in Miami. Looks like we will see similar lines for this series, might be a bit lower once Brown comes back. For whatever reason, books have been low on Celtics, making them small faves against Milwaukee in Boston and decent sized dogs on the road.

    Boston might not be that great, but last series they showed they can hold home court.

    on 2nd thought it does seem like a big line for home it was -2.5, bettors just feel more comfortable on that side and I guess it just steamrolled up. does it not seem like youre more sure of what youre gonna get out of sixers than boston?

          So it should be -16 in Philly, okay.

            Philly well rested. Boston's series went to 7. Also Brown's out. Philly wins this one in a blow-out. Game 2 will be close though.

              Brown isn't some bit player/ role player. He's their best 2-way player on the perimeter. A tireless scorer and a strong defender. That said, the Celtics went 8-0 as the home dog ATS this season. They are resilient, and they have a terrific home court edge, so we'll see...

                Everyone and their momma's have already penciled in Philly to the ECF. Brad Stevens is one of the best coaches in the NBA. I don't even know who the hell Philly's head coach is but didn't they hire him because he's from Australia like Ben Simmons and he looks kinda like Steve Kerr???



                My money is on Boston.

                    No, he's american, and his finger nail has more coaching experience than steve kerr.

                      Suppose Kerr had taken that Knicks job as he had agreed... would you be saying he was a great coach now?

                          I think Philly can win by 16 at home and by 10 in Boston. Let's see

                            The way I look at it, books need a way to attract Boston money. They need to make it as hard as reasonably possible to pay out Philly bets.

                            Here’s the question. Will the Celtics salvage a game at home? If you believe they will, just bet the moneyline both games.

                              I’m predicting sixers in 6- they will lose tonight and game 5

                                  Big difference between what you think they can win by and what the line should be, but you know that.

                                  Based on the lines and series price, sixers probably roll, just surprised to see books giving them so much respect against a solid Celtics team.

                                        Come on man. Boston sucks. They have a good coach and a hard working team. If Stevens wasn't coach the line would be-10. What does Boston have? They have no one who can create there own shot

                                                  Definitely not 10.

                                                  I think it's pretty close, probably 3 or 4 if I had to make it. With Brown, who I think is there best player is probably worth a point or so.

                                                  I agree with laker that Boston doesn't have anyone, but books don't take into account chemistry and coaching. Celtics have both of those. They are basically Utah of the east.

                                                    I agree with laker that Boston doesn't have anyone, but books don't take into account chemistry and coaching. Celtics have both of those. They are basically Utah of the east.
                                                    They haven’t have everyone all year and still won - don’t let this idiots press you

                                                      Books have been pretty high on Sixers given their recent lines. Double digit faves over Miami and they were 3-4 point faves on the road in Miami. Looks like we will see similar lines for this series, might be a bit lower once Brown comes back. For whatever reason, books have been low on Celtics, making them small faves against Milwaukee in Boston and decent sized dogs on the road.

                                                      Boston might not be that great, but last series they showed they can hold home court.
                                                      Sixers not the bucks, good coaching ain't gonna carry Boston vs this philly team I don't think. That said really couldn't blame ya for playing celts for 1 win in these 2 home games, prob right thing to do, I think philly will get 1 and flip home court but really don't see them winning both so value certainly on celts.

Coaching doesn't mean all that much in NBA, players do. Sure it can get you past a garbage team in round 1. Coaching will never beat superior team talent.
