After losing the first three games of the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics laid an absolute egg against the Miami Heat in Monday’s Game 7, losing 103-84 on their home court.
Unsurprisingly, Boston is getting crushed on sports talk radio as analysts try to piece together how the Celtics played so badly last night and where this team goes from here.
Bettors, on the other hand, are already handicapping NBA odds for Game 1 of the Finals between the Heat and Nuggets.
In fact, while most of the sports world is still reacting to the Eastern Conference Finals, wiseguys are quietly taking an early position on Heat vs. Nuggets Game 1.
NBA Pick: Heat vs. Nuggets
Live NBA odds show Denver as an 8.5-point favorite against Miami for Thursday’s Game 1.
However, pro bettors are finding value in the over/under instead.
This number opened at 218.5 before smart money quickly hit the market to take a position on the over.
According to Action Labs’ Bet Signals, sharps have steamed the Neat vs. Nuggets Game 1 over multiple times thus far, explaining why the total has pushed to a consensus of 219.5.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
In addition, the Action Network’s NBA Live Odds Page shows that DraftKings is still offering this line at 219, essentially providing a free half-point of value for those willing to shop around.
