A young and hungry Boston team plays hard for their very good coach. And they are really doing well on this impressive road trip - a 5-0 ATS run which included straight-up wins at Portland, Utah and Denver. The Celtics are playing defense too, on 5-1 run UNDER the total on the road. After a loss at Golden State the Celtics bounced back with a 99-90 win over Utah the next night, their fourth game in five nights. Tayshaun Prince led the way with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting and five assists. Boston is 14-7 ATS away from home. While Boston has won two of three, Minnesota has continued to struggle while short-handed. Minnesota is averaging 84.6 points on 39.4% shooting during a five-game skid. The Timberwolves are 7-18-1 ATS when playing on one day of rest. Minnesota is on a 4-1 run UNDER the total and Boston is 24-8 UNDER the total on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. Finally, when these teams meet the UNDER is 5-2-1, including 6-1 UNDER here in Minnesota. Take Boston and the game total UNDER.
