The Boston Celtics are seen as the favorites as they are riding high off momentum after winning Game 3, but bettors should not be counting out the Miami Heat and their NBA odds just yet.
The Miami Heat have been playing against the odds since the start of the second round and those who took the chance on them then should know that they are very capable of repeating in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Celtics have had an impressive playoff run as well, being that they beat both the Philadelphia 76ers and the defending champions, the Toronto Raptors. Also, they are back to a fully healthy team as well as Gordon Hayward has returned to action which certainly helped them take Game 3.
As for the game total, it might seem that it is set a little too low which means that bettors can take advantage of this and take the over.

In two of the three games in the series thus far, the over has been hit twice and by double-digit margins as well.
What is driving the over is the fact that Miami is one of the premier three-point shooting teams in the league and that Boston has scorers at every position on the floor. Also, the fact that Hayward is back and healthy give the Celtics another scoring option.
Looking at the spread, it might seem that it is too close for comfort but in reality, Boston has covered that spread just one time while the Heat has beaten it twice.
There is no doubt that these games have been back and forth, but Miami has pulled through twice on the spread and it should be hard to bet against them not covering.
All in all, Game 4 will not be one to disappoint as this series has been neck and neck thus far and is shaping out to be a dog fight ending. Game 4 is set to begin at 8:30 p.m. EST on ESPN.
