The oddsmakers have posted this one as a toss-up game when you consider the added in home court advantage for the Celtics. I disagree with what they have posted here and find value on Boston. The Celtics had key missing ingredients for five games without Rondo, three without Pierce and two without Allen. They are as healthy as they have been all season and it has shown as they are 9-1 in their last 10 games. Ray Allen continues to shoot the lights out from deep at a sizzling 51-97 - almost an unconscious 53%. Los Angeles has had scoring issues vs. the better teams that has left them just 2-5 in their last seven when facing a winning squad, cashing just two of their last 11 as a road dog. Boston has had a great deal of success vs. LA as they are 14-6-1 ATS vs. their West Coast rivals in the last 21 played, and it continues tonight. Play on Boston.
