Boston at Charlotte

Boston continues to play hard defensively, fighting for the No. 4 playoffs spot in the East, a spot they held two years ago when they made it all the way to Game 7 of the NBA Finals. This team is dominant defensively, third in the league in points allowed and No. 1 in field goal shooting defense allowing .418% shooting. They don't like to run and won't here as they are playing their third road game in four nights and the second of a back-to-back spot. That was a 94-82 win at New Jersey last night allowing 36.8% shooting. The UNDER is 16-7-1 in the Celtics’ last 24 games as a road favorite. And they face a team that can't score, with Charlotte No. 30 in the league in points scored, and No. 30 in rebounds. Boston is on a 12-5 run UNDER the total and will slow the pace down, and Charlotte will struggle badly (again) to score. Play the UNDER.
