The 2022 NBA Playoffs betting action goes on with Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday, May 27, so we bring you the best Heat vs. Celtics betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;



Miami is on a brink of elimination following a 93-80 defeat in Game 5 at home. The Heat head to TD Garden as 8.5-point road underdogs, while the Celtics are firm -400 moneyline favorites with a total of 201.0 points for Game 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Heat continue to struggle on the offensive end&nbsp;



The Miami Heat have scored only 162 points over their previous two showings. After a heavy 102-82 defeat in Game 4 at TD Garden, the Heat barely hit an 80-point mark in Game 5. They shot only 31.9% from the field and 15.6% from downtown last Wednesday.&nbsp;



Miami accounted for a paltry 38 second-half points in Game 5. Bam Adebayo led the way with 18 points and ten rebounds, while Jimmy Butler went only 4-for-18 from the field, finishing with 13 points, six boards, four assists, and a couple of steals.&nbsp;



Kyle Lowry and Max Strus combined to shoot 0-for-15 last Wednesday. They’ll have to do a much better job Friday in Boston, especially because Butler is struggling with a knee injury. Tyler Herro has missed the previous two contests due to a groin injury and is questionable to play in Game 6.&nbsp;



The Celtics are shutting down the Heat&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Boston Celtics reminded us why their defensive rating was the best in the NBA this past regular season. They tortured the Heat over the last two contests, allowing only 88.5 points per 100 possessions on 32.6% shooting from the field and 25.9% from beyond the 3-point line.&nbsp;



Marcus Smart sat out Game 4 with an ankle injury, but his absence didn’t affect the Celtics’ performance on the defensive end. The reigning DPOY returned to the starting lineup last Wednesday and posted five points, five rebounds, and four assists in 24 minutes on the floor.&nbsp;



Jaylen Brown led the way for Boston in Game 5, tallying 25 points on 10-for-19 shooting from the field. Jayson Tatum had 22 points, 12 boards, and nine assists, while Al Horford added 16 points, seven rebounds, five dimes, and a couple of blocks.&nbsp;



Trends:



Miami:



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games played on Friday&nbsp;</li></ul>



Boston:



<ul><li>15-5 ATS in the last 20 games overall&nbsp;</li><li>8-4 ATS in the last 12 outings as favorites&nbsp;</li></ul>



Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics Pick&nbsp;



I will continue to back the Celtics, who have been outstanding so far this postseason, but that 8.5-point spread is a tricky one. The Heat will play with their back against the wall and could easily keep it close down the stretch.&nbsp;



Anyway, I lean on the Celtics’ mighty defense to wear down the Heat. Miami is struggling to find open shots and knock them down, so the Heat will have to improve a lot in order to avoid elimination in Game 6.&nbsp;



Pick: Take Boston Celtics -8.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



The Heat and Celtics are recording only 94.2 possessions per 48 minutes throughout this series. The first three games have flown over the total, but the previous two have been proper low-scoring affairs.&nbsp;



The line is set pretty low at 201 points, but if the teams continue to play at a slow pace, the under should hit once more. Five of Miami’s last seven road tilts and six of Boston’s previous eight showings as a fave have gone over the total.&nbsp;



Pick: Go under 201.0 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In a perfect world, we’d be a week away from the Kentucky Derby. It is not a perfect world, but we do still have the Arkansas Derby coming up on May 2. Before we get to that huge Grade 1 race at Oaklawn Park, we’ve got a couple of extremely interesting stakes races this weekend with the Bachelor Stakes and the Carousel Stakes.

It will be a big-time Saturday in Hot Springs with these two races. We’ll take a look at both of them here at BangTheBook, beginning with this look at the Bachelor Stakes.

This is a $100,000 purse featuring nine three-year-olds running just six furlongs. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see one of these horses make an appearance in the Preakness Stakes, but the Kentucky Derby seems like a stretch with the additional length. Eight Rings and Sir Rick are the only horses that have gone 1 1/16 miles.

But, our focus is on this race and the six furlongs coming up in Race 9 on Saturday April 25.

Here are the post positions for the field and the trainer and jockey combos with the morning line odds from the racing form:

Eight Rings is the favorite for the Bob Baffert and Joel Rosario tandem and 5/2 is a price that will likely go down, given that this colt won the American Pharoah G1 race last year at Santa Anita and was a promising contender for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile before finishing sixth.

Joe Talamo and Tom Amoss have the second favorite from the far outside post in Long Weekend, who has three wins in four events, including a win in the Gazebo Stakes at Oaklawn just over a month ago.

That win for Long Weekend came over Little Menace, who was a game second-place finisher and has not finished outside the top two spots in four career races. Three-year-olds sired by Into Mischief have been popular bets to this point, so we’ll see if that continues in this race.

Let’s size up the nine competitors and put together a bet slip:

Little Menace will be a popular pick on Saturday. The longest odds this horse has faced him been a little less than 3/1 in a win in allowance optional claiming back on February 2 at Oaklawn. He won that race by a head over American Butterfly by talking the pace. Little Menace has been both a pacesetter and a stalker and that versatile running style is likely to be popular with the bettors.

To this point, Little Menace has run three straight races with an Equibase Speed Figure of 98 and has been one of the most consistent three-year-olds in this field.

Beau Oxy is a long shot from the Hugh H. Robertson barn. His son, McLean, will have his seventh different rider in as many races here. Beau Oxy finished fourth, 11 lengths behind Long Weekend, in the Gazebo Stakes. It was a decent run, but it was clear that he didn’t have the speed. The line of 20/1 here suggests the exact same thing about this field, which is even stronger thanks to Eight Rings.

One interesting side note about Beau Oxy is that the son of Oxbow seems to like the dirt a lot. In his six races, three have been on dirt and he’s won two of them. He was fourth in the other with that stronger field. This is a good test for a horse that could be a little too overlooked.

Echo Town makes his fourth start of 2020 for Steve Asmussen. He won an allowance race back on March 13 on a sloppy track by 3 3/4 lengths over American Butterfly, who seems to have something of a penchant for finishing second. This is a horse with two enormous speed figures in the last two races.

The son of Speightstown will have Ricardo Santana Jr. in the mount once again. He is more of a closer than a pacesetter and you can bet that he’ll be driving hard in hopes of finishing this one on a high note. Last time out, he just outran American Butterfly after a three-wide final turn. In his third-place finish, he finished one length behind Tuggle for second, but 4 1/2 lengths behind the winner Lykan.

Ginobili will have David Cohen in the mount for a second straight race in search of better fortunes. This is a good horse that had an excellent run, finishing a close second to Nadal in the San Vicente G2 race at Santa Anita back in February. Ginobili had impressive speed figures prior to not doing much for Cohen back on April 5.

This is a quick turnaround, but that run with Nadal, who just won the Rebel Stakes, shows the ceiling for this horse. It is a big ask for the son of Munnings and of trainer Richard Baltas, but Ginobili may be ready for a bounce back run.

Lykan is the most experienced horse of the bunch with a ton of past performances to examine. Those performances have been all over the place as well. Tyler Baze draws the mount again after leading Lykan to a show and a win at Oaklawn Park in the last two races, including a third in the Gazebo Stakes.

This horse has been all over the map, but has hit the board in five of six dirt starts, including the AlwOC win back in February. The third was a distant third of 8 1/4 lengths behind the winner Long Weekend in the Gazebo. This is a solid horse and a horse that has had some big runs, but isn’t consistent enough to take in a field of this caliber.

Liam’s Pride has had some terrific workouts in the lead-up to this race. This is a step up in class, though. This is the stakes debut for Doug O’Neill’s three-year-old and he is far from being the favorite like he was in his only career win two races ago. Six furlongs seems to be the right distance here, but with a really good field and a tough post position, he seems like a real long shot to get to the board. The 20/1 price is confirmation of that.

Eight Rings looks to be the class of the field. Who knows what sort of price we may be talking about if he hadn’t lost rider Drayden Van Dyke in the Del Mar Futurity G1 last year in September. He was the 1/2 favorite in that race. He then went to Santa Anita just 25 days later and won the American Pharoah Stakes. He went off as the second favorite in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile G1 race at Santa Anita on November 1, but finished 12 1/4 lengths behind the winner, Storm the Court, who will be at Oaklawn for the Arkansas Derby next weekend.

Eight Rings was ridden by John Velazquez in the last two races, but now draws Rosario, which is a strong power move. We have some clear and pressing questions given the long layoff, but we’ve seen some excellent workouts from him of late. The late fade in the BC Juvenile at 1 1/16 miles was concerning, but with six furlongs and the speed of this horse, he should set the pace and easily has the endurance to sustain it.

Sir Rick is definitely stepping up in class here. The speed figures have been underwhelming, but the Richard L. Davis colt still has four wins and a show in seven dirt starts. That says more about the level of competition than it does about the horse. The numbers just aren’t there and the post position with pressure from Long Weekend on the outside is bad, too.

One note about Sir Rick – after finishing 13th in the Oaklawn Stakes back on April 11, he’ll have blinkers in this race. He was second midway through that race on a sloppy track, but stopped running. We should have a firm and fast track on Saturday.

Long Weekend has three wins in four tries, all of which have come in the favorite role. Long Weekend will be hard-pressed to be the favorite over Eight Rings on Saturday, but expect another short price here. The wins for Long Weekend have been impressive, statement types of victories by 4 3/4, 6 3/4, and 5 lengths, with the first two at this same six-furlong distance. The workouts have been good, not great, but this is a horse that jets out to the lead and maintains it. Little Menace provided a token threat in the Gazebo before getting outrun over the final furlong.

A big question for Long Weekend will come with more distance in future races. It will be interesting to see how he maneuvers to the front of the pack from the far outside post, but he has been the leader at the quarter pole in all four races. Many of these horses are fast starters. Long Weekend has been in cruise control by the middle of the race in the three wins. How will he fare if challenged a little bit harder here?

Picks

I’ve been sitting here thinking of ways to skirt the 7 Eight Rings and the 9 Long Weekend because I do really like the 1 Little Menace and the 3 Echo Town. Echo Town wasn’t raced as a two-year-old and only has three data points, but all three have been impressive. Heading into Thursday’s races at Oaklawn, Ricardo Santana Jr. was a 21% jockey in sprints and he’s the rider for Asmussen on Echo Town.

Santana also had the pick between the Asmussen colts of Echo Town and Little Menace and picked Echo Town. He had two previous rides on Little Menace and won them both. Stewart Elliott draws the mount on Little Menace, which is a bit of a red flag to me.

I can’t get away from this colt, so Echo Town will be on my bet slip. I also can’t get away from Rosario and Eight Rings. It’ll be an exacta box with 3/7 for me.

I’ll add Long Weekend to the exacta box, too. We’re not talking about a big pay day in the Bachelor Stakes in all likelihood, but I think we can make some money with what appears to be a chalkier race.

Win/Place: 3

Exacta Box: 3/7/9

The 2022 NBA Playoffs continue Tuesday, May 24, with Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals between Golden State and Dallas, so we bring you the best Warriors vs. Mavericks betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;



The Warriors are one step away from the 2022 NBA Finals. They open as slight 1-point road underdogs for Game 4 at American Airlines Center, while the Mavericks are listed as -115 moneyline favorites with a total of 215.5 points.&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Dubs are building another dynasty&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Golden State Warriors are one win away from their sixth NBA Finals appearance in eight years. Last Sunday, they outlasted the Mavericks 109-100 as 3-point road dogs to grab a 3-0 series lead. The Dubs scored 61 points in the second half and didn’t allow the Mavs any chance down the stretch.&nbsp;



Golden State played excellent defense in Game 3. The Warriors also controlled the glass, posting 14 offensive rebounds. They outscored the Mavericks in the paint 46-34 while making 46.9% of their field goals.&nbsp;



Stephen Curry led the charge with 31 points and 11 assists. Andrew Wiggins accounted for 27 points, 11 rebounds, and a plus-22 net rating, while Draymond Green posted a line of ten points, five boards, five dimes, two steals, and a block.&nbsp;



The Mavs continue to struggle on both sides of the ball&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Dallas Mavericks fell apart in Game 1, suffering a 112-87 defeat at Chase Center in San Francisco. They improved offensive-wise in Game 2 but lost 126-117, but Game 3 saw another bad day in the office.&nbsp;



The Mavs shot only 40.0% from the field and 28.9% from beyond the 3-point line last Sunday. Luka Doncic had another 40-point display after dropping 42 points on the Dubs in Game 2, finishing Game 3 with 40 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists.&nbsp;



Spencer Dinwiddie had 26 points at home, and Jalen Brunson added 20, but the rest of the team didn’t help at all. Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber both went scoreless, combining to shoot 0-for-15 from the field.&nbsp;



Trends:



Golden State:



<ul><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games overall&nbsp;</li><li>5-2 ATS in the last seven games played in May&nbsp;</li></ul>



Dallas:



<ul><li>4-8 ATS in the last 12 games played in May&nbsp;</li><li>2-4 ATS in the last six games against Golden State&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



Golden State Warriors vs. Dallas Mavericks Pick&nbsp;



The Mavericks will try to become the first team in NBA Playoffs history to overcome a 3-0 deficit, but that’s not going to happen given the way they’ve played over the previous three games. Dallas struggles to cope with the Warriors’ frontcourt, while the Mavs’ role players continue to slump big time.&nbsp;



On the other side, the Warriors own plenty of experience and should finish the job in Game 4 to earn some extra days to rest. Their defense has dominated the Mavericks so far this series.&nbsp;



Pick: Take Golden State Warriors +1.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



Two of the previous three dates between Golden State and Dallas have gone under the total. The under is 4-2 in the Warriors’ last six contests, 6-2 in the Mavs’ previous eight, and 5-0 in Dallas’ last five showings on the home court.&nbsp;



I’ve mentioned many times this season that Dallas loves to play at a slow pace. Hereof, I would ride those betting trends and take the under in Tuesday’s Game 4.&nbsp;



Pick: Go under 215.5 points at -110 &nbsp;
