Preview:
Seven wins from their last 10-games has the Celtics keeping pace with the Bucks in the Eastern Conference, but things are about to get interesting with a few injuries popping up.
Boston could potentially go without Gordon Hayward and Marcus Smart with the Pistons coming to town on Saturday, leaving the Celtics two players short on the bench.
You never root for injuries, but the good news is Blake Griffin also remains doubtful with left knee soreness.
Backing Boston at home against the spread has been an outstanding betting play this year, and although the -8 line looks a little long with big-name players missing, I’m willing to back the trends here.
Detroit comes into this game looking to snap a two-game losing streak, while the Celtics are sporting a 7-3-1 record against the spread at home. Boston also comes into this game after upsetting the Mavericks 109-103 on Thursday, which just so happens to be another piece of good news.
Boston is 22-5 over the last three seasons against the spread when coming off an upset as an underdog. With the Celtics looking almost untouchable at home, back them to win big.
Odds:
Tip: Boston Celtics at $1.19
