Boston is an easy team to play against because they have the stigma of the long losing streak this season. Despite the meager win totals, the Celtics have been the best road team in the NBA in terms of making money! They have been 17-3 ATS in their last 20 on the road, and when playing a team that is sub .500 they are 10-0 ATS in their last 10. Green is averaging 15-points per game (PPG), and Jefferson is scoring22.1-ppg and 11.5-rebounds per game over the last third of the season. That output takes pressure of Pierce, so the Celts young players have really emerged, despite all the injuries. Boston went from scoring 100+ points in just 2 of 16, to reaching the century mark in 9 of their last 17. New Orleans has been giving up points in a big way, having allowed 100+ now in 7 of 9 games, so we will also play the OVER here.
