Our Pick
OVER 221.5
Final Score98-114

📊 Recap

Our OVER 221.5 projection missed significantly as the game totaled just 212 points, falling 9.5 points short. Boston's offense, which we identified as the primary catalyst, managed only 114 points in a defensively-oriented contest that didn't align with our mathematical edge.
