NBA Finals First Quarter Odds and Picks for Game 2 between the Dallas Mavericks vs. Boston Celtics. NBA Finals betting on 1Q markets.
The Celtics didn't take long to pull away in Game 1 but our NBA Finals first-quarter predictions expect a much better start from the Mavericks in Game 2.The Boston Celtics dictated all terms in Game 1 against the Dallas Mavericks, but even the boldest Mavs vs. Celtics predictions did not expect Boston to hold a 37-20 lead after the first quarter.
Dallas scoring only five points in that 5:47 stretch was itself baffling. No team should reach the NBA Finals and proceed to go 2-for-14 across half a quarter. The Mavs should produce more points tonight. That intangible of immediate motivation should be applied to only the first quarter. Boston’s lingering satisfaction will not last the entire game.
Game 1’s early rout should not wipe away all confidence in what has been shown so far this postseason. Porzingis is likely to remain out of the starting lineup, just as he was in Game 1. Coming off the bench helps Boston manage his workload a touch, and it better matches the 7-foot-2 Latvian with the 7-foot-1 Dereck Lively II. Lively plays well above 38-year-old Al Horford; the Celtics need Porzingis to stymie lob looks for him.
gotten those looks argues for the value here. At +1,000, Holiday is priced far too long. If Brown does not take the first Celtics shot, Holiday just may.
