NBA FREE PICK: Take the under. According to latest NBA trends, Boston is 0-4 Under last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home,  is 1-6-1 Under last 8 Saturday games and is 4-10-1 Under last 15 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points. Miami is 2-6 Under last 8 Saturday games, 4-10 Under last 14 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5, 10-25 Under last 35 games as a home favorite, 7-15 Under last 22 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5 and 7-15-1 Under last 23 games following a ATS win. This is it. Boston appeared to have dead legs in their last game, going 1-of-14 from the three-point line and scoring just 79 points on Thursday night. They may hit more threes and LeBron James won’t go off for 45 points again and go 19-of-26 from the field. This will be a defensive, low-scoring affair.
