Los Angeles Clippers vs Boston Celtics prediction

The Boston Celtics are going to be favored at home because they’re 20-1 SU, but this line is ridiculous. The only way I’m laying this sort of number with the Celtics is if the Clippers rest guys after playing last night. As I’ve said in previous write-ups, the Clippers are looking more and more like the best team in the league, and it helps they’ve also covered 7 of their last 10 games. You’re not going to get this many free points with the Clippers often for the rest of the year. Assuming Kawhi and others play, I’ll gladly grab the points. Still, check the injury report before locking anything in.
