Premium Pick

The Boston Celtics are off a home loss in overtime to the Atlanta Hawks. They are still 29-13 in the season, projected to be just under 60 wins. This puts Boston in a historically good spot. Teams tend to show out after a home favorite loss in overtime and play their next game as a road favorite. These NBA teams cover 53.5% of their next game. Better than that is if these same teams come into the game with a winning percentage of less than .730, they are an impressive 66-45 ATS, covering just shy of 60% of all games. The Warriors continue their decline, and if the playoffs started today, they would not even be in the play-in round. History points to a play on Boston.
