*Odds as of Wednesday morning
Following a fourth-quarter collapse in Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors came out with something to prove in Game 2, topping the Boston Celtics in a 107-88 rout.
With the series shifting to Boston, the Celtics are 3.5-point favorites against the Warriors for Wednesday night’s NBA Finals Game 3 showdown.
From strictly an NBA betting perspective, what is the smartest way to approach tonight’s Game 3?
Will home-court advantage push Boston to a Game 1-like performance? Or is 3.5 points simply too much to give a team like Golden State, even on the road?
Trick question.
When it comes to the market’s sharpest basketball bettors, the real value for Game 3 of the NBA Finals sits with the over/under.
Warriors vs. Celtics Betting Pick
According to live NBA odds, the Warriors vs. Celtics Game 3 total sits at 212.5 across the market.
However, the line movement to this point, and why it has moved the way it has, is what’s important to analyze.
This number initially opened at 215.5, but smart money from pro bettors quickly pounced on the under, driving it down to the current line of 212.5.
Action Labs’ Bet Signals are reporting two sharp action indicators on the under, suggesting that wiseguys have been responsible for the odds movement thus far.
Additionally, the Action Network’s NBA public betting data shows that the Warriors vs. Celtics Game 3 under has attracted 65% of the money on just 45% of the tickets, confirming that oddsmakers are, in fact, heavy on that side of the total.
