Let’s dive in!
Boston Celtics ML (+102)
Al Horford to score 20+ points (+680)
Parlay odds: +1133
Boston Celtics ML (+102)
Game 5 of this series was a weird contest. The Celtics shot a series-high 51% from the field as a team, Jayson Tatum had 34 points and Jaylen Brown also chipped in with 26, but failing to convert late cost them the game. The defense was a big letdown in the second half as they allowed 63 points, including 33 in the 4th. Robert Williams III comes back for Game 6, so that should sort a few things out. The good news is they are playing a Bucks team that has struggled to cover the spread at home lately – they are just 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 at home and in head-to-head meetings the Celtics have covered in 5 of their last 6 visits to Fiserv Forum. After watching Dallas force Game 7 last night, I think the Celtics can do the same. Take the road team to win.

Al Horford to score 20+ points (+680)
Al Horford heroics were also missing from the Celtics’ performance on Wednesday. Big Al had just 8 points and 8 rebounds in 41 minutes played. Having to rely on Daniel Theis to cover him down low wasn’t ideal, but that should change tonight with the return of Timelord to the lineup. Horford has had double-digit points in 4 of the 5 games in this series, in Games 3 and 4 he scored 22 and 30 points, turning back the clock to his Atlanta Hawks days. With the inefficiency of Jayson Tatum in this series, it will be up to Horford to once again carry a bigger load offensively and produce a much-needed spark on offense for the Celtics. If he manages to put up 20 points, the Celtics will be hard to beat. He has done it 3 times in these playoffs already. Let’s hope tonight is the fourth.
