The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat meet for a pivotal Game 2 on Thursday. That means it’s time for our top-rated NBA playoff betting model to step up to the plate.
It’s the Eastern Conference Finals and we’re deep into the postseason; but that doesn’t necessarily mean all the betting value’s dried up.
In fact, Action Network’s elite system — one that’s cashed north of 60% lifetime, with a 20% ROI — has identified an edge on the spread, using public betting data as a main component to the selection.
After Miami got the better of Boston in Tuesday’s Game 1, is this the typical zigzag spot to back the Celtics? Or are the Heat being undervalued at home?
Let’s dive into the system, how it applies and why other PRO Report tools are lighting up on this particular team .
