Chicago at Boston

The Boston Celtics look like they have a team capable of repeating their NBA Championship from a year ago. They are 21-5 on the season, but the Cleveland Cavs have been playing extremely well and lead the East by 1.5 games over the Celtics. Boston isn't putting the pedal to the metal. They play well enough to win and move on. When you are a reigning champ, the lines are not friendly, and Boston is just 10-16 ATS on the season. The Celtics are pacing themselves: play good enough to get a win, and move onto the next game. Boston is 1-8 ATS on the season as a favorite of 12 or more points. Make the play on Chicago.
