Celtics vs Spurs Prediction
I’ve been fading the Celtics in these big favorite spots all year, and they’re just 22-31-1 ATS on the season overall. However, the Spurs are still trying to figure things out these last few weeks as they’ve lost six of their last nine games and that includes a ridiculously bad loss to the Hornets. This will be the sixth straight road game for the Spurs. The Celtics have looked bored at times this season, but they can still pour it on when motivated, and this is a chance to empty the chamber with the break right around the corner. The Spurs are 9-15 SU on the road this season. Give me the Celtics in a double-digit home victory.
