Betting Trends to Know

The Bucks lost Game 1 by 22 points. Since 2005, playoff teams that lost their previous game by 20 or more points have gone just 94-90-2 ATS in their next game but 34-25-1 ATS when favored. – John Ewing

Will the momentum from their Game 1 win carry over to Game 2 for the Celtics? Under Brad Stevens, the Celtics are 11-6 ATS in the playoffs when winning their previous game by 10 or more points and 3-0 ATS when winning by 20-plus. – Ewing

The Bucks had the best record in the NBA (60-22) in the regular season. Since 2005, playoff teams that won 70% or more of their games have gone 58-36-2 (62%) ATS when coming off a double-digit loss. – Ewing

Under Brad Stevens, the Celtics have played six playoff games as an underdog directly after beating that same opponent by double digits in their last game. The Celtics are 1-5 straight up and 2-4 ATS in that spot. – Evan Abrams

The Celtics are playing their fourth consecutive playoff game on the road after sweeping the Pacers and starting Games 1 and 2 on the road. This season, the Celtics have really struggled on the fourth game or later of a road trip, especially when you compare that record to previous seasons.

2018-19: 0-3 ATS (-11.2 PPG ATS)

0-3 ATS (-11.2 PPG ATS) 2013-2017: 9-4 ATS (+4.5 PPG ATS) – Abrams

Locky: How I’m Betting Game 2

It can be easy to be a little dismissive of Game 1 in this series. The thought would be something like, “Boston played its best possible game and Giannis played his worst possible game.”

But there are some things present here which make me think the spread should have been adjusted slightly more from Game 1 (it’s essentially changed a point, to 7.5), despite the fact it’s only one game.
