| -3.0 | 218.5 | 117-112 |
Trends
- Celtics are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games.
The Rub
- Just when it seemed as if the Boston Celtics had figured some things out they lose 98-86 to the Jazz at home.
- Celtics now meet a hot Kemba Walker, whose career-high and franchise-record 60 points were not enough in a 122-119 overtime loss to the 76ers.
- Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have been disappointing lately, and can no longer hide as “inexperienced” young players.
- Boston’s Terry Rozier has missed all 12 of his 3-point attempts over the last 3 games.
- Celtics rank first in the league in defensive and should turn the corner tonight. Unders best.
Best Bet = Boston WIN

- Pistons got a full 4 days rest also, and needed it to mend the emotional hangover from a 106-104 victory over the Raptors.
- Cavs rank 2nd worst defensively and that is just what the Piston’s needs to get their offense flowing again.
Best Bet = Over 212.5
UTAH @ INDIANA

- Pacers have won their last of 3 of 4 but had to finish off a 97-89 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday without All-Star guard Victor Oladipo (knee soreness).
- Both rank in the bottom third of the league in tempo, so the under is nice.
- Oladipo still questionable. So we’ll stay away from the +1.0 handicap.
