Boston at Oklahoma City

The Boston celtics will once again play without Rajon Rondo, who has been suspended after throwing a ball at an official. Boston is obviously not the same team they have been the past two years, but nevertheless on any given night there is an abundance of talent and commitment on the defensive end of the court making this a dangerous team. This is a team of veterans will likely to be on top of their game with the imposing challenge of taking on a 25-7 team that has lost just one time at home. The C's have been road awful without rest at 1-13 ATS, but have been a lot better as a dog and rested having covered four of their last five here. The Celtics have been playing bad ball and OKC may let down here. But look out. Boston is 24-14 in the Doc Rivers era after failing to cover the spread in four straight games including 11-2 straight-up the past three seasons. With Doc Rivers at the helm, the Celtics are 9-2 straight-up afer three straight road losses. I believe Doc will have this team ready and I'm calling for the surprise upset.
