Spurs vs Celtics Prediction 3/29/25 NBA Picks Today

The San Antonio Spurs play host to the Boston Celtics at the Frost Bank Center on Saturday night. Here’s a Spurs vs Celtics Prediction. This article will include a Spurs vs Celtics Pick.

The Boston Celtics have been on fire as they’ve won 12 of their last 13 games overall, and they will be eager to build on their current seven-game win streak after blowing past the Suns in a 132-102 road win on Wednesday. Kristaps Porzingis led the team with 30 points, eight rebounds, and two blocks; Jaylen Brown added 24 points with five assists, while Al Horford, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White each scored 16 points.

As a team, the Celtics shot 50 percent from the field and 22 of 52 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Suns from the start and took a 19-point lead into halftime. Before they poured in 35 points in the third quarter to put the game to bed early. The Celtics will meet the Grizzlies after this game.

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in decent shape as they’ve won five of their last nine games overall. They will be hoping to avoid a third-straight defeat after getting beaten by the Cavaliers in a 124-116 road defeat on Thursday. Stephon Castle led the team with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists; Devin Vassell added 22 points with four assists, while Keldon Johnson chipped in with 17 points and 10 rebounds.

As a team, the Spurs shot 40 percent from the field and 14 of 43 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to overcome an early 16-point deficit, only to allow 38 points in the fourth quarter to fall short in the end. Chris Paul had a rough game as he shot just two of 10 for his five points while Sandro Mamukelashvili finished scoreless on zero of three shooting. The Spurs will face the Warriors and Magic following this one.

Why the San Antonio Spurs will win

• The Spurs have won each of their last six games as home underdogs following a road loss.
• The Celtics have lost four of their last seven games as favorites against Southwest Division opponents following a win.
• The Spurs have covered the spread in each of their last six games against Atlantic Division opponents following a loss.
• The Celtics have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven night games at Frost Bank Center.

Why the Boston Celtics will win

• The Celtics have won each of their last 15 games against teams that held a losing record.
• The Spurs have lost each of their last five games against Celtics teams that held a winning record.
• The road team has covered the spread in eight of the Celtics’ last nine games.
• The Spurs have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games against Celtics teams that held a winning record.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Spurs rank 29th in the league for opponent offensive rebounds per game this season (12.1).
• The Spurs rank 2nd in the league for blocks per game this season (5.8).
• The Celtics rank 1st in the league for opponent blocks per game this season (3.7).
• The Celtics rank 1st in the league for turnovers per game this season (11.8).

The Celtics are still keeping eyes on Payton Pritchard and Al Horford, while the Spurs have ruled out Charles Bassey and De’Aaron Fox again. The Celtics have barely missed a step over the past three weeks. They should be well-rested as they haven’t played since Wednesday, and now they are taking on the depleted Spurs, who are still missing two of their best players. The line is hefty for this one, but still not high enough to sway me from backing the Celtics to continue their impressive run with another comfortable win and cover on the road behind big games from Porzingis and Brown.
