Has anyone seen Cleveland Cavaliers, Shaquille O’Neal or Anderson Varejao recently?
Will Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett play like two members of Boston’s ‘Big Three’ or will they take a back seat to blossoming point guard Rajon Rondo?
With tonight’s matchup se to get underway in a mere matter of hours, let me get started.
Shaquille O’Neal Total Points and Rebounds
Over 15½ Pts+Rebs -105
Under 15½ Pts+Rebs -125
Analysis: The Big Washout is averaging all of 9.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in the postseason and almost reached those figures in Game 2, by scoring a whopping nine points and grabbing an entire four rebounds. I never could figure out why the Cavs signed the behemoth center, but now they’re stuck with the aging Shaq who doesn’t grab any rebound he actually has to go after. Play the Under here.
Expert NBA Picks: Under 15½ Pts+Rebs
Anderson Varejao Total Points and Rebounds
Over 14½ Pts+Rebs -115
Under 14½ Pts+Rebs -115
Analysis: Varejao was rock solid for Cleveland during the regular season, but like O’Neal, has mostly gone M.I.A. in the postseason. The long-haired Brazilian is averaging just 5.4 points and 7.0 rebounds per game in seven playoff contests but scored eight points and pulled down seven rebounds in Game 2. I like the hyperactive forward to top the set O/U total tonight, particularly with KG limited by a mild foot injury.
Expert NBA Picks: Over 14½ Pts+Rebs
Ray Allen Total Points
Over 14½ Pts+Rebs -120
Under 18½ Pts -110
Analysis: Allen is averaging 19.0 points per contest in the postseason and scored 22 points in Game 2 after putting up just 14 in Game 1. Allen’s scoring is vastly important for the Celtics’ success. I like ‘Jesus Shuttlesworth’ to reach 20 points tonight.
Expert NBA Picks: Over 14½ Pts+Rebs
Kevin Garnett Total Points and Rebounds
Over 26½ Pts+Rebs -125
Under 26½ Pts+Rebs -105
Analysis: KG is back NBA bettors, but could be hampered by a sore foot in Game 3 after putting up 18 points and 10 rebounds in Games 1 and 2. Garnett has topped this set O/U total three times in his last four games, but I say the ‘Big Ticket’ falls just short tonight.
