Dallas Mavericks (62-39) vs Boston Celtics (78-20)
Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at 8:30 pm
At 8:30 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks on the moneyline over the Boston Celtics. The Celts did as expected, and won Games 1 + 2 to take a 2-0 series lead in this NBA Finals. Dallas now has its proverbial back against the wall in this Game 3 since, if it loses, it will surely be its death knell, as no team (in 156 series) has ever come back from a 3-0 series deficit in NBA history. We'll take Dallas to win this game on the moneyline, as #1 seeded teams (like Boston) have gone just 25-45 straight-up in Game 3s since 1990, at the quarterfinal round forward, if they were up 2-games-to-0. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
