This line looks so bad. What it is saying is that the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Boston Celtics would be a pick 'em on a neutral court. It is begging for action on Boston here. The problem is that the Celtics are off a circled game on their schedule, revenging an opening season loss to the Cavaliers in a game where they lost Gordon Hayward for the year. It was a huge emotional game for Boston, and they played like it. Now they have to come back in their next game and face a competent Minnesota team that is capable of beating Boston if the Celtics are not on their "A" game. After such a huge emotional win in a game they have had on their minds since the opener, I don't think that "A" game makes the floor tonight. Take the points on Minnesota.

1.5 units on Minnesota +3.5 (-110) (risk 1.5 to return 2.86)
