Celtics at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 133, Spurs 118

Moneyline

The Celtics are "only" 9-6 on the road this season but the Spurs have only 2 home wins (2-13).

With only 2 wins in 26 games, there is no reason to imagine that the Spurs could beat arguably the best team in the league, even on a bad night, other than just taking a shot in the dark.

But it's not worth it to bet the Celtics here either.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Celtics have failed to cover the spread in their last 2 games and are 15-14-2 ATS on the season. While it hasn't happened in their last 3 wins, their previous 4 wins were by more than 13 points.

The Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 3 of their last 6 losses have been by more than 13 points.

BET CELTICS -13.5 (-110).
