Boston had won 19 straight. Then they lost two in a row. They took out their frustrations on Sacramento last night, holding the Kings to a ridiculous 63 points. I don't think this team is done making a statement and they will again bring the defense tonight vs. Portland. On the road this season, the Celtics are holding opponents to just 89.9 ppg. They have held opponents to over 8 points below their average all season. If they do that to Portland tonight, the Blazers will struggle to reach 90 points. The Blazers can play defense too. They are averaging 94.1 per game allowed at home this year. Boston's offense is awesome at home, but on the road, it's pedestrian (98.7 per game). I like Boston to win this won with a score in the low nineties. Take the UNDER here.
