The Boston Celtics keep getting these inflated lines, but they’re 25-31-1 ATS on the season. The Celtics have failed to cover seven of their last nine games as a double-digit favorite. The Raptors have played improved ball since getting healthy and while they don’t win every game, they’re 33-23-1 ATS on the season. The Raptors are a top-five cover team in the NBA. Also, let’s not forget, that the Raptors beat the Celtics last month as a 14-point underdog. I’m going to keep fading the Celtics in the big favorite role. Give me the Raptors and the points.
