New Orleans at Boston

Premium Pick

The Boston Celtics will host the New Orleans Pelicans, amid a lot of speculation that DeMarcus Cousins could be moved before the trade deadline. The Pelicans rule the roost inside with their twin tower lineup of Cousins and Davis. That makes for a tough assignment for Boston, who plays strong defense, but doesn't have the size to match up inside in this one. The Pelicans are just two games over .500, but are 7-4 in their last 11. New Orleans, surprisingly has a good history at the TD Garden. They have the best record here of any team that has played a minimum of 25 games in Boston since 1996, at 15-13. Grab the points on New Orleans.

1.5 units on New Orleans +5 (-105) (risk 1.5 to return 2.93)
