Despite the Boston Celtics, (6-5 SU, 5-6 ATS) apparent inability to win a playoff game on the road this postseason, I am still expecting the Celtics to win their second round matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, (6-4, 7-3 ATS) and eventually advance to an Eastern Conference Finals showdown against the Detroit Pistons, (7-3 SU, 7-3 ATS) that I predicted long before the 2007-08 season ever got underway.
This NBA Betting article will give the BetUS basketball betting community a preview of the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals -and all the important wagering statistics that matter – while providing a brief breakdown on the possible matchups that should take place, though I’ll admit that the Cavaliers and superstar LeBron James are certainly not leaving the postseason without a fight against the Celtics.
The Celtics and Pistons faced each other three times during the regular season with the Celtics winning twice after dropping their initial meeting in a thriller at home, 87-85 on December 19th, failing to cover as eight-point favorites in the process.
The Pistons hosted Boston on at home on January 5th, losing 92-85, helping Boston to cover as two-point underdogs before falling to the Celtics for the second time, 90-78 on the road on March 5th failing to cover as four-point underdogs.
