The Celtics are going for win number 13 in a row and its hard to tip against that as betting men. The point guards for both teams could be missing, with Irving the most likely to make the court. Brad Stevens will have a plan anyway, no matter who is in the lineup. Boston have a league best OPP PPG rating at 94.0.
Best Bet – Boston -6.5
Toronto @ Houston

- Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

The Raptors will fancy themselves for tonight’s matchup knowing they took the W in Houston last season. Harden will have to shoulder the load again and if he can pull this one off they should give him the MVP trophy at the final buzzer. The Rockets haven’t had the most challenging schedule in the East thus far, so tonight will be a good litmus test.
Unders best.
Best Bet – Under 219.0

When the Texas neighbors come up against each other, the game does go up a gear or two. The only difference these days is that the Mavericks level is nowhere near the Spurs. San Antonio have recovered after an iffy start with Leonard still out but sit nicely at 3rd spot in the West.
Spurs all the way.
Best Bet – San Antonio ML
