Boston Celtics Vs Toronto Raptors
Date/Time: September 7, 6:30 p.m. ET
Stadium: HP Field House
TV Coverage: TSN
Opening Odds: Raptors -1 | O/U 212.5 (Line History)

Opening Odds Analysis
Toronto opened as a 1-point favorite on Monday, but early bettors have taken the Celtics and pushed the line over to Boston being a 1-point favorite. The total has also moved slightly from its opener of 212.5 down to 212 points. The Raptors were small favored by two points in Game 1 and 2 and by 2.5 points in Game 3 before closing as 2-point underdogs in Game 4.

Boston News & Notes
Boston opened this series with a bang, picking up a comfortable 112-94 win in Game 1 after cruising to a 39-24 lead in the first quarter. The Celtics followed that win up with a 102-99 win in Game 2 and appeared to be on the verge of a 3-0 lead before being stunned at the buzzer by an OG Anunoby three-pointer that scored a 104-103 win for Toronto. One more loss later and that anticipated 3-0 series lead is now a 2-2 series tie.

Now the Celtics have to show off their mental toughness. With Gordon Haward out and the momentum no longer going their way, this group needs to find a way to rebound and get back on track offensively against this smothering Raptors defense.

Toronto News & Notes
Toronto has done an excellent job of keeping Boston’s top scorers in check. Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown combined for 72.8 points per game against the 76ers; that combined production has been slashed to 59.8 points per game against Toronto. The Raptors have the second best defense in the postseason this year allowing only 104.1 points per game.

Unfortunately for Toronto, they happen to be playing against the team that has had this postseason’s best defense as the Celtics are allowing only 99.9 points per game. Kyle Lowry has played a key role in helping the team break through on offense over the last two games; after averaging 16.5 points per game in the first two games of the series, Lowry is averaging 26.5 per game in Toronto’s two wins.

Betting Pick: UNDER 212 points

A total of only 212 is very low for today’s NBA. But all four of the first four games between these two teams has gone UNDER, and the intensity in the defensive zones is only going to ramp up even more this late in the series. Look for another defensive nail-biter to stay under the posted total.

NBA public betting, line movement September 7
Patrick Everson

Jayson Tatum and Kyle Lowry renew hostilities when the Celtics and Raptors meet Monday in Game 5. The SuperBook at Westgate opened Toronto -1, but the line flipped to Boston -1 Sunday.

NBA betting odds are on the board and getting attention for a couple of Monday conference semifinal playoff games. The Toronto Raptors meet the Boston Celtics in a pivotal Game 5, followed by the Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets tangling in Game 3.

The SuperBook at Westgate provided insights on NBA opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Monday’s matchups.

NBA line movement

Toronto lost Games 1 and 2 against Boston, but bounced back to tie the series by winning the next two matchups, including Saturday’s 100-93 Game 4 victory. The defending NBA champion Raptors opened -1 for Game 5 at The SuperBook, but the line flipped to Celtics -1 Sunday morning. Game time is 6:30 p.m. ET.

After getting thumped 120-97 in Game 1, Denver rebounded with a 110-101 Game 2 victory over Los Angeles on Saturday night. The SuperBook opened the Clippers -7.5 for Game 3, and that line stretched to -9 Sunday afternoon, spurred by news that Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is questionable with a right wrist injury. Tipoff is at 9 p.m. ET.

NBA public betting

The Consensus indicated two-way play on Celtics-Raptors, with a lean toward Toronto, which was landing 56 percent of picks through Sunday night. Jokic’s status notwithstanding, the Nuggets were drawing 63 percent of early Consensus picks.

Game 5 Odds: Celtics vs. Raptors

The Eastern Conference semifinals will continue on Monday and the 2-3 matchup between Toronto and Boston has now become a best-of-three series with the pair locked up at 2-2.

The third-seeded Celtics captured the first two games before the Raptors have rebounded with back-to-back wins. Even though these games are playing in the NBA Bubble from Orlando, the designated road team is now 4-0 in this series.

Betting Odds - Celtics vs. Raptors

Line Movements

After watching Boston combine consecutive victories with consecutive losses, Vegas decide to lean with the Raptors heading into this Game 5 bout, setting the opening spread at Toronto -1. Early action on the Celtics (65%) though, has led to the line swinging to Boston -1.

The Raptors and Celtics have split the first two games of this series SU 2-2, but the same can’t be said for the ‘over-under’ as this series has been all about defense, cashing ‘under’ tickets in all four games. The total for Game 5 sits more than three points lower than any ‘over-under’ we have seen so far in this series – OU 212.

The series price for Boston advancing to the next round soared all the way up to -500 following its back-to-back victories against Toronto to open the Eastern Conference Semis, but has now fallen all the way back down to -120 as these teams begin what has become a best of three series between inner-conference rivals.

Spread: Boston -1
Money-Line: Boston -110 Toronto -110
Total: 212
Updated Series Price: Boston -120, Toronto +100

Game 4 Recap

The Celtics were just a couple ticks on the clock away from going up 3-0 on the second-seeded Raptors in the Eastern Conference Semis, but OG Anunoby was there to save the day with a game-winning buzzer beater in Game 3, which was followed up with a 100-93 victory on Saturday to knot up this series 2-2 heading into the fifth contest of this series.

Game 4 was a bit of a roller coaster ride as Toronto came out on top in the first and third periods of the contest and the Celtics caught the edge in the second and fourth stanzas.

Boston’s edge was not enough though as the Raptors rumbled to a 12-point advantage in the periods in which they were victorious compared to the Celtic’ five-point margin. This series has been a hard-nosed, defensive-minded battle so far as the ‘under’ has easily cashed in all four contests.

It will be interesting to see if these teams let up a little on defense on Monday, with a sixth matchup between these teams guaranteed now.

Game 4 Betting Results

Game 4 was a tale of two quarters as Toronto scored 31 and 32 points in the first and third respectively and those efforts helped the Canadian club cash tickets.

While it looked like we would finally see an 'over' ticket in this series, a combined 40 and 39 points scored in the second and fourth quarters helped the 'under' improve to 4-0 in the first four games.

Outcome: Raptors 100 Celtics 93

Game: Raptors Win, Raptors Cover Cover (+2), Under (215.5)
First Quarter: Raptors Win (31-27), Raptors Cover (PK), Over (54.5)
First-Half: Tied (49-49), Raptors Cover (+1), Under (108.5)
Second-Half: Raptors Win (51-44), Raptors Cover (+1.5), Under (105)

Celtics Betting Outlook

Inside the Stats

Bubble: 11-5 SU, 9-6-1 ATS, 5-10-1 O/U
Playoffs: 6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS, 1-7 O/U

A stunning four-game sweep of the defending champs appeared to be hanging in the balance as Brad Stevens’ group possessed a 2-0 series advantage, leading Toronto 103-102 during the closing seconds of Game 3 and in what felt like a blink of an eye, a two-game advantage became none.

The Celtics looked like the clear-cut, better unit in the first two games of this matchup, winning Games 1 and 2 by an average of 10.5 points per game, and controlled the pace/flow for the majority of Game 3 only to be nabbed at the last second.

Boston shot 7 of 35 from downtown in its Game 4 loss, and the odds of an efficient team on offense like the Celtics shooting at that clip in consecutive contests is not very likely – No need to sweat if you are a Celtics series bettor unless they drop another one here.

Raptors Betting Outlook

Inside the Stats

Bubble: 13-3 SU, 10-6 ATS, 4-11-1 O/U
Playoffs: 6-2 SU, 4-4 ATS, 3-5 O/U

When Kawhi Leonard walked away from the Raptors this past off-season, many thought he would be leaving behind an empty shell of what was once a championship lineup.

And while that is true to an extent, Toronto clearly still has the swagger on defense of a title-contender, holding the Celtics to an average of 98 points per game in its last two contests.

Nick Nurse’s team might not have the quick-strike ability on offense that his championship unit from last season possessed, but if they can guard Boston tight on the perimeter and hold them to 20% shooting from deep like the Raptors did in Game 4, there is no reason Toronto shouldn’t be able to complete the full comeback in this series.

Key Injuries

Boston

PG Tremont Waters: Knee - Out
C Vincent Poirier: Personal - Out
SG Javonte Green: Knee - Out
SF Gordon Hayward: Ankle - Out

Toronto

SF Oshae Brissett: Knee - Out
SF Patrick McCaw: Knee - Out

The Celtics are still without small-forward, Gordon Hayward, who has missed this series in its entirety with an ankle injury. He is not likely to return to the lineup before the conclusion of this round, but if Boston advances to the Eastern Conference Finals, look out for news regarding his status.

MLB public betting, line movement September 7
Patrick Everson

Kyle Tucker and the Astros look to get back on track in a Monday night matchup against the Athletics. Caesars sportsbooks opened Oakland -140 home favorites and ticked up to -142.

MLB betting odds are on board for a slightly abbreviated 11-game Monday schedule to wrap up the holiday weekend. Arguably the top matchup of the day is the last one, an AL West clash between the Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics.

Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on MLB opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Monday’s games.

MLB line movement

Houston hopes the second leg of its California swing is better than the first, after getting swept in a four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels. Oakland is also in a little rut at 1-4 in its last five games, a stretch interrupted by a five-day break due to COVID issues. The A’s opened -140 at Caesars books and crept up to -142, with the Astros +132 for a 9:10 p.m. ET start.

The Tampa Bay Rays (28-13) own the AL’s best record, heading into a quick two-game road set against Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals. The Nationals split two of four games against Atlanta, but are still a dismal 3-11 in their last 14 games. As of late Sunday night, most books didn’t have Monday’s 6:05 p.m. ET first pitch on the board.

In the Windy City, the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs wrap up a five-game series with a 4:10 p.m. ET first pitch. The Cubs dropped Games 2-4 in this series, but opened as -167 favorites at Caesars for the finale, and there was no line movement by late Sunday night. Chicago has Kyle Hendricks (4-4, 3.78 ERA) on the mound against Cards youngster Johan Oviedo (0-1, 4.30 ERA).

MLB public betting

The Consensus indicated early public support for the Athletics, who were landing 64 percent of picks against the Astros through late Sunday night. The Cubs were a more popular play, drawing 75 percent of early Consensus picks against the Cardinals.

The Minnesota Twins were the most popular play in the Consensus, taking 83 percent of early picks as -190 favorites against the visiting Detroit Tigers in a 2:10 p.m. ET meeting.
