This will be the final game of the Conference Finals and the winner will move on the play the Golden State Warriors Thursday for Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Heat forced this Game 7 with a gritty effort and win in Boston Friday night. This should be a fantastic game tonight, but some of these expected classic-type games, have been blowouts. I just can’t believe this one won’t be close and these two teams won’t bring their best game. I’ll be watching at 7:30 CST, tonight.
We picked Miami to beat the spread on Friday and obviously they did and we made a very nice profit on our Best Bet. Our Best Bet of the Day record now stands at 102-56 in 2022.

Let’s look at what Vegas thinks about Game 7 in the Boston-Miami matchup for tonight.
*PAPA DUDES BEST BET OF THE DAY* Boston (-2.5) at Miami: The series is tied at 3-3: After an incredible Game 6 performance by Jimmy Butler, the Miami Heat forced a Game 7 tonight in Miami. Butler scored 47 points, brought down 9 rebounds, and handed out 8 assists in a Jordan-like game. He had scored only a combined 19 points in Game 4 and Game 5, and made some incredible shots when the Heat were trying desperately to hold off the Celtics. In the previous 2 Miami losses, the Heat only shot 32% from the field and looked helpless offensively. Thanks to Butler, they improved their shooting percentage to 46% in Game 6. Meanwhile, Boston blew an opportunity to close out Miami on their home floor. They had no answer for Butler, (but he was in a Superman type of zone), and couldn’t ever get the lead in the 4th quarter. It has to be demoralizing to lose a close-out game at home and now have to return to Miami and win a Game 7 in a hostile environment. But, that is what they have to do. It isn’t hard analyzing this game. Miami has to shoot the ball well from the perimeter or they are going to lose. The Celtics have been the more consistent team on offense and they are a tough, hard-nosed team. They aren’t going to back down from this challenge. Miami can’t expect Jimmy Butler to play like he did on Friday. He is going to need some help from some of the other players around him and if they can step up their game they should win. I picked Miami in seven before the series ever started and I said having Game 7 at home would be the difference. I can make a point for Boston as well. This is a must-see game if you are a basketball fan. PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Bet the MoneyLine on Miami +120
