Boston is only 13-7 straight up and 7-13 ATS at home this season, making the Celtics very vulnerable especially when laying big points are they are tonight. The Celtics were trounced by Sacramento two nights ago 114-97 at TD Garden as the Kings opened the fourth quarter with a 24-9 run to lead 100-85. New Orleans has won three of five, including 123-115 over Philadelphia on Friday. C.J. McCollum scored 38 points and the Pelicans won it without Zion Williamson, who was suspended for one game due to lateness to practices and flights. Boston has lost three of its past five home games outright and it's asking a lot for the Celtics to cover this number. Take the Pelicans.
