2 points more from Derrick White for 1 parlay.
7 more from Tatum for the other.

Thank you Celtics OT moneyline.

I held off on the 9.5pt line pregame and was waiting and waiting for a decent Celtics in game moneyline (because a game 1 spread that big scared me), which never really came until it looked like they were going to lose. Once Brown hit that 3 to tie it the moneyline dropped to +100, I was too chicken, but got them at -200 to begin OT and put my entire balance on them.

I got them live ML at -180 when they were down in the 4th. Looked like I was going to regret that til Jaylen hit the 3.

Celtics have been very good to me this season.

I was shocked at just how long they stayed fairly big favorites on the live ML deep into the 4th.

Possible heavy bets were coming in on live Celtics...but also look what happened.
Celtics won.

True. Although it took a miracle 3 and a dumb turnover from Indy to get there.

If I was willing to cheer against the Celtics there were some attractive ML bets for Indy late when they were winning but still an underdog.

Not sure i'd call that 3 a miracle but ok.
There were like 5-6 seconds left and Jaylen shoots 40% from 3 at the Garden.

Maybe not a miracle...but it was forced, and against good defense (+ maybe even a foul).

When he took it I felt like they could have gotten a better look with another pass or 2 (and I was shocked it went it)...but then you run the risk of not getting it off in time considering only 6-7 seconds left when he caught it.

Glad they won. They deserve the title this year.

It was a set play going to Jaylen.
He admitted as such in the interview right after the game.

Smart to get a shot off that early because with another pass you run the risk of not having a chance at a rebound and second shot and/or an actual miracle buzzer beater if you needed to foul ( and Indy somehow missed their FTs ).

I saw that. It was a good play with options for both of their stars, which is exactly what you want.

Good play by Mazzulla.

Mazzulla made the right call there - he's been known to not use his timeouts ( he didn't do that last season which was infuriating ).

I think he's a bottom tier coach still.
He can't get his team to not play at dictated pace often enough and if the 3's aren't falling, he doesn't know how to direct ( and set screens for ) Tatum and Brown to drive at every opportunity.

Sounds gross ( MIZZOU guy ) but Quin Snyder would be awesome for the Celtics.

Thought I was going to have a bad night. Turned out to be decent. Made a little money.
Idiot me went to bet the Wolves -2.5 when the game started and when I hit place bet and it asked me if I accepted the line change I accepted it. It was Wolves -4.5.
Decided to slightly hedge myself and took the Mavs money line. Figured I would end up losing both bets.
Then midway in the 4th the Mavs were still the dog and I put a little more on the Mavs money line.
Thank you Mavs.

I had the Fever (now 0-5) +6 against the Storm. = SMALL W

I had the NY Rangers. = SMALL L That was embarrassing - for me and the Rangers.

I wanted to bet the Braves over the Cubs and forgot to do it until I saw the Braves were up 2-0 so I didn't bet it. That would have been a W.

I had a feeling Dallas would keep it close - didn't expect them to win.
Teased Dallas +7.5 and the under to 214.5 ( whew ) for +112.

Tonight i'm teasing up the Indy line and teasing down the over.
I'll also probably take Haliburton 15+ or 18+.

I aced the game - and of course bet basically nothing.

Mavs +5.5 -110 at 7:56 $5.70 returned $10.88
Mavs +5 -106 at 8:11 $2 returned $3.89
Mavs +10.5 -110 at 8:36 $2.50 returned $4.77

I'M RICH BITCH!

Shame I didn't bet them straight up.

Not your fault the Wolves let you down.
Go get that $ back that the Wolves (not Mavs) stole from you.
Go Celts!

Edwards needed 25 though too so it’s wasn’t just the team—it was Ant.
