| -2.5 | 204.0 | 110-106 |
- Celtics have held the Pacers to an average of 87 ppg on the way to a 3-0 series lead.
- Kyrie finished Game 3 with 19 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds and just 2 turnovers in 37 dominant minutes, averaging 25.3 points and 8 assists in the series.
- No team in NBA history has ever won a series after falling behind 3-0, and we think tonight might be time for the Celtics to get the broom out.
- Sweep time, with the Celtics finally producing solid play over 4 games, something that’s been lacking all year..

- Surprisingly, the Blazers lead all stats categories aside from rebounding. RIP Nurkic.
- OKC failed to reach 100 points and went 10-of-61 from 3-point range in Games 1 and 2 at Portland but strolled to 120 points on 15-of-29 from beyond the arc in the Game 3 win.
- Blazers were outscored 31-18 at the free-throw line in Game 3 in what could well have been the difference in the outcome.
- Westbrook struggled to 14 points on 5-of-20 shooting in Game 2 but turned things around at home, with 33 points on 11-of-22 shooting, with 4-of-6 from 3-point range.
- Like Unders tonight, with the Blazers to stick within the spread.
OUR PICK = Under 223.5
