Point Spread: +6½/-110 Boston

Sportsbook: JustBet

Result: Loss

I always like to fade the defending champ on opening night. The Heat have always struggled with Rondo and I expect him and Jason Terry off the bench to come up big along with Garnett and Pierce. The Celtics will be sitting around in their locker room waiting for the defending champs to get their rings, to see their smiles, jumping around, your probably going to be motivated to come out and do well. This is what typically happens and the public of course will take the bait on the relatively short line here on the Heat at home. The Heat, with Lebron, Wade, Bosh, the new faces that are the sharp shooters etc..., but still, it comes down to Chemistry. And, with this new lineup, it will take some time for this team to mesh as well whereas Boston has been playing together for a while and they are a bit deeper this year and more athletic. The Celtics are also 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings against the Heat.
