Boston at Portland

Premium Pick

Boston star Jayson Tatum continues to have a hip problem and is questionable to play while three others are out. The Celtics play their fourth road game of a six-game trek and are on a 4-5 SU, 3-6 ATS run losing four times as a favorite - and twice as double-digit chalk. Boston is 11-21 ATS after playing a road game, including 4-14 ATS after playing two straight road contests. While Boston is working on one day of rest, Portland is working on two days of rest in the middle of a three-game homestand. The Blazers are just 2.5 games back of the tie for the ninth seed in the Western Conference. With Boston 23-43 ATS against teams that average 7 or fewer steals per game, this is an excellent situational spot for the rested home dog. Play Portland as a Max Play.
