Expected Line Movement for Boston vs Miami Game 6
Miami has been a phenomenal underdog story, and there will be a segment of the betting public that likes the Heat to close out the series as home underdogs. But expect a much bigger segment of the population to be backing the Celtics, who carry all the momentum into Game 6 and have planted more than a seed of doubt in the minds of Jimmy Butler and company.
The Boston moneyline is likely to move shorter than the -146 it opened at.
