Prediction
Celtics 110, Spurs 103
Moneyline (ML)
The CELTICS (-250) are big moneyline favorites over the Spurs after losing to the Washington Wizards Monday. Boston has won eight of its last 10 games while the Spurs have been one of the league’s most inconsistent teams. While the Spurs (+200) are an intriguing underdog pick here given their history, take the Celtics to win at home.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The CELTICS (-6.5, -106) are three-basket favorites over the Spurs and have been one of the league’s best teams this season at covering the spread. While they have covered in just two of their previous six games, Boston should have no problem scoring at will against the Spurs. Look for this contest to be close for most of the game, but for the Celtics to close it out at the end with their excellent free-throw shooting (80%).
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this contest is set at 217.5, which feels a bit high considering the Celtics’ defensive ability this season. Both teams have explosive offenses, but they can be far from consistent night-to-night. Look for both sides to cross the 100-point mark Wednesday, but for the UNDER 217.5 (+105) to hit.
