This Game 2 of the NBA Playoffs series between the Wizards and Celtics features a line of Boston 5.5.
The All-Star Issiah Thomas recorded 33 points and nine assists, against the Wizards Sunday. The Celtics made 19 3-pointers to beat the Wizards 123-111 and take a 1-0 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup.
"I got in at 4 a.m.," Thomas said of his second flight to Washington in two weeks. "It's tough, but it's the playoffs so there are no excuses. I decided to play and I just tried to give it all for my team.”
At home, Boston has covered the current 5.5 spread in their last six appearances against Washington.
Boston was listed at 20-1 odds of winning the 2017 NBA Championship, a solid value if you ask us.
Washington was listed at 80-1 odds.
