Celtics at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 123, Raptors 110

Moneyline

PASS.

Boston is the far better team and will cover here as a -700 favorite, but you can’t risk a bet on such heavy favorites. Pass here and look to the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN CELTICS -12.5 (-110).

Boston has covered the spread in 2 of its last 3 road games and is 2-1 ATS in its last 3 wins. The Celtics are also 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings against the Raptors.

This is a lean since the Celtics have not been their normal, dominant selves lately. And also because Toronto has been the better ATS team this season, being 22-17-1 ATS while Boston is just 15-23-1.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 229.5 (-110). 

The Under has hit in 4 of Boston’s last 5 games and is 21-17-1 for the Celtics. For Toronto, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 games. The Under has also hit in 2 of the last 3 matchups between these squads and is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings.
