Minnesota at Boston

Premium Pick

Boston has fallen into a lull over their last 14 games, but it would be unexpected to see them maintain the high level of play they accomplished in their first 26 games. The Celtics won 20 of their first 26 games by 10 points or more, but they have since won just four of their last 14 by 10 points or more. The double-digit spreads that were covered early, to the tune of 5-2 ATS, have now been just 1-5 ATS. Minnesota brings a bunch of ex-Celtics to Boston tonight, and you know they are going to try and make a statement as this game will be very big to them. It also comes at a time where the T-Wolves are playing better than they have all season. They have won two straight for the first time all season and covered three straight for the first time. Just once this season the Wolves put together back-to-back +100-point scoring nights and now they have done it in three straight! Minnesota is catching the Celtics at the right time. While the Celtics are in a lull, the Wolves are playing their best, so we gotta’ back with the T-Wolves here.

3 units on Minnesota +13.5 (-110) (risk 3 to return 3)
