Preview:
A well-earned three-day break sees the Celtics head to Toronto on Boxing Day as -2.0 favourites.
Boston’s 8-6 record on the road isn’t quite as impressive as their 12-1 mark at home, but the Celtics can rest easy knowing they won by six-points against the Raptors back in October.
The Raptors, on the other hand, haven’t missed a beat since winning the championship last year. Toronto sits fourth in the East behind a 21-9 record, while they also have to feel good about themselves knowing the Celtics haven’t won up north since 2015.
That being said, the Celtics have quietly been one of the best defensive sides in the league away from home, which makes me think they can win this game convincingly. Boston has allowed the third-fewest points to opponents on the road, which has helped them cover in eight of their 14 games so far.
If you throw in the fact the Celtics are also 3-1-1 against the spread on 2-3 days’ rest, I think it more than builds a compelling case for a Boston victory.
Odds:
Tip: Boston Celtics at $1.78
