Celtics at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 119, Trail Blazers 106

Moneyline

The Celtics have more road wins (20) this season than the Blazers have total wins (18). The Blazers, though, are 3-3 in their last 6 games after losing 9 straight.

Portland hasn’t beaten the Celtics at home since 2018.

The Celtics lost the 1st 2 games of their road trip but those are their only losses in the last 14 games.

Nothing about either team’s season suggests you should bet the Blazers to beat the Celtics and the -450 odds make betting the Celtics not worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Celtics have covered the spread in their last 7 wins, winning all by 10 or more points.

The Blazers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games, but failed to do in the previous 7. They are 30-33 ATS overall this season compared to Boston’s 31-29-3 ATS mark.

BET CELTICS -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Four of the last 5 games for the Celtics have had totals higher than 217 points. The Blazers have allowed 118 or more in 4 straight games.

BET OVER 217.5 (-105).

Celtics at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 120, Trail Blazers 114

Moneyline

AVOID.

Assuming that Tatum is active for the Celtics, taking them in a parlay isn’t the worst idea, but they aren’t worth taking straight up at the current -190 odds.

Against the spread

CELTICS -4.5 (-110) is how I’d bet the spread if Tatum is available to play. Boston realizes it can gain ground on Milwaukee for the No. 1 seed with a win after the Bucks surprisingly lost to the Indiana Pacers on Thursday.

The Celtics are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 road meetings against the Trail Blazers.

Over/Under

BET OVER 229.5 (-115).

Both of these teams are top 8 in offensive rating and Lillard is expected to suit up for the Trail Blazers. The Celtics are 6-1 to the Over in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record, and the Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

Celtics at Trail Blazers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 109, Trail Blazers 98

Money line

The Blazers are 1-2 this season without Lillard in the lineup but 5-8 over the previous two seasons without him.

The Celtics are 6-7 on the road this season but are 4-3 overall against Western Conference teams.

If Brown is back in the lineup for the Celtics they will just be too much for a shorthanded Blazers team.

Take the CELTICS (-125).

Against the spread

Boston is 12-10-1 ATS overall this season but 10-6 ATS in its last 16 games.

Portland is 9-14 ATS and has only covered the spread once in its last five games. This is the first time all season the Blazers are underdogs at home.

The Celtics are 5-1 ATS as road favorites.

Take the CELTICS -1.2 (-112).

Over/Under

The Trail Blazers have averaged 96.0 points per game in their three games without Lillard. Three of their last four games overall have stayed Under the projected total.

Boston averages 107.3 points per game and only four of their last 16 games have gone Over the projected total.

Take UNDER 211.5 (-110).

Boston Celtics at Portland Trail Blazers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Boston Celtics at Portland Trail Blazers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Boston Celtics (28-26) visit the Portland Trail Blazers (31-22) at Moda Center at 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Celtics-Trail Blazers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Celtics kicked off a three-game road trip with a 105-87 road win against the Denver Nuggets, covering as 3.5-point underdogs. It was a strong defensive effort, and the third time in five games that the C’s actually kept their opponent under 100 points (all wins).

The Trail Blazers are looking to rebound after a 107-98 loss on their home floor against the Miami Heat Sunday. In fact, the Blazers are just 1-3 SU/ATS across the past four outings, with the Under cashing in each of the past three.

Celtics at Trail Blazers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Celtics 113, Trail Blazers 108

Money line (ML)

The CELTICS (-105) kicked off the road trip with a resounding win over Western Conference power Denver Nuggets, and they are on a three-game heater, too. They’re playing much better basketball than the Trail Blazers (-115), who limp in just 1-3 SU/ATS across the past four.

Roll with the road team.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Celtics +1 (-110) are a better play just straight up on the money line for a better pay off. There is just no sense in playing the ‘dog with the point.

AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 227.5 (-105) is the best play on the board here. Both of these teams have had a power outage recently for whatever reason.

The Celtics have scored 109 or fewer points in five of their past eight, while allowing 106 or fewer in five of the past six. Boston has hit the Under in eight of its past nine, too.

For the Blazers, the Under is on a 3-0 run, while cashing in five of the past six. They have averaged just 106.3 PPG across the past three outings, which is 8.4 points per game fewer than their overall season average.
