Las Vegas - Totally understand that same game parlays are a lousy percentage play. Totally understand that same game parlays are one of the biggest money makers for the sportsbooks. And usually don't step into the space, but tonight, we'll just dip our toes. With a 6-point teaser. Gonna take the Pacers and plump 'em up from +9 to +15 points against the Celtics, then take the Over/Under total, which is sitting at 224, slice it down to 218 and go Over. Looked at the box score and noticed that Indiana's bench had a YUGE advantage over Boston's bench. Indy's bench played a total of 69 minutes and scored 30 points, while the C's bench logged 45 minutes and managed just 13 points. As for the O/U total, these teams have the #1 (Pacers) and #2 (Celtics) offenses in the NBA. They combined for 261 points in game one which included 27 points in overtime. Even if you take away the 27 in OT, they still scored 234 points. So it's Indy and Over 218 for the money. As long as Kristaps Porzingis does not play for Boston.
