We’re back with another succulent three-course punting meal.
Let’s get stuck in.
THE LOCK
Cleveland Cavaliers v Boston Celtics OVER 212.0 total points
@ $1.89 (Sportsbet)
16 units
IF IT AIN’T BROKE DON’T FIX IT! We are running unbelievably hot with the lock at the moment, and we’re heading back to Cleveland to try and milk them a little more.
212.0 looks a little skinny considering yesterday’s point line with an inferior opposition offense in Miami to today’s men in Green. Boston will be hurting after their fourth quarter fade-out to the Jazz, and we think they’ll come in to this with a point to prove. Expect them to stay in attack mode, and for this points line to cover by a handful.
THE MID-RANGER
Boston Celtics team total OVER 115.5pts
(use “away team alternate total points”)
@ $3.20 (Sportsbet)
4 units
We were so close to hitting the Mid-Ranger yesterday by going with Miami’s team total over against the Cavs that we feel it would be doing the BF tipping crew a disservice if we didn’t go back.
The difference between that and this is the Celtics have a much better offense than the Heat. Boston shoot a ton of 3s and will look to get out in transition as often as possible. It really is bully ball by going back at the Cavs again, but when you have a mismatch – you’ve got to take advantage of it!
One or two good scoring quarters from the Celtics is all we need. The $3.20 odds is just straight value that we refuse to pass on. Root with us for a big scoring night from Boston.
THE SPECULATOR
DeJounte Murray triple double
@ $12 (Sportsbet)
1 unit
Murray continues to flirt with the TD. He had a double double with rebounds last start, and went close again in the match-up previous.
No DeRozan continues to mean higher usage – and the Spurs come up against the Bulls today, who don’t have the perimeter defence to throw at San Antonio’s go to playmaking option.
He could very well hit the mark today – making the BF Punters club a bunch of very happy campers.
