Preview:
As a fan of small ball, these are two of the more intriguing teams in the NBA. I would mark Houston as the slightly better side and like them laying just 2.5 points at home here.
They’re 18-8 at home this season and will no doubt be motivated after an emotional loss. They suffered a minor injury blow recently, with 6th man Eric Gordon set to be out until the All-Star break. This pales in comparison to Boston’s injury report, which includes a bunch of starters.
Houston have essentially nothing on the interior right now, but I’m not sure Boston can really punish them. Guys like Enes Kanter are essentially unplayable against a small-ball lineup, favouring Houston here.
I also don’t think Boston have the perimeter defenders to contain Houston’s backcourt. In a game that should be close late on, I’d expect James Harden to be the difference and will his team to a win and cover.
Odds:
Tip: Boston Celtics at $2.10
