Celtics vs. Heat Game 6: Top 3 NBA Betting Odds & Picks for Friday, May 27 (2022)
The Golden State Warriors have locked up their spot in the NBA Finals. Now there is only one question remaining. Will Boston win the series, or will Miami come back and steal away their opportunity? Either team that wins this series will make a grand final to end this NBA season. Bettors will want to lower the number of units on today’s NBA bets since anything can happen, but let’s see the best bets for tonight.
Boston Celtics Moneyline -435 at Draftkings Sportsbook
This game does not have much value at -435, but Boston has home-court advantage in this game. Boston is 28-13 at home this season, and they have not lost a beat at home in the playoffs. The Heat is dealing with the injury bug, and the injuries are starting to show. Last game, the Heat shot .319 from the field and .156 from the three-point line. That gives this game to the Celtics.
Total Points Under 202 -110 at Draftkings Sportsbook
This series is starting to take a lot out of these teams. They both have had injuries to starters, and both teams are playing hard every night. The top defenses of both of these teams are starting to show late in this series. Both teams have lockdown defenders, and now that they have figured out the opposing team’s offense, they will know how to stop each other from scoring. I am trusting the great defenses for both teams tonight.
Miami Heat +10 -145 at Draftkings Sportsbook
There is a chance that this might be the last game of the year for the Heat. They are not going to go without a fight. The odds might be against them, but Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo are tough players that take pride in how hard they play. That effort will keep this game close. Even though they are tired, they will play until they physically cannot. We saw that in the finals before with Jimmy Butler. This bet is a straight-value play.
