Los Angeles Clippers at Boston Celtics: Under
A preview of the NBA Finals this year? Since December 1st, the Clippers and the Celtics have been killing it, with 21 wins, and the Clippers leading the pack at 21-4. Their secret? Solid defense and killer offense.
I understand the Celtics being favored by -7.5, considering the Clippers are coming off the first game of a back-to-back, and they are 21-1 at home this season, but the Clippers did cruise against the Raptors last night.
Porzingis is out for the Celtics tonight, which hurts the Celtics being able to spread against the Clippers wings. I am leaning the under with two-way stars playing against each other in this one. Both defenses are too good (Both top 5 in FG% against and Top 10 in 3PT% against) to let the other put up shots at will. The Under has hit in 5 of the last 6 for Boston, while the Under has hit in 4 of the previous on the road for the Clippers. This has all the makings of a very strategic grind-it-out game that should come down to who wins the 4th quarter. Buckle in.
Result: Under by 21 ✅
