The Boston Celtics have a lot of servicable players, but they don't have a finisher or closer for the end of a game. They are 3-5 on the season and have blown leads of 16 points against Cleveland and 19 points against Toronto, and this game against Phoenix is supposed to be tight. And it is hard to trust this team at this stage of their development in tight situations. Boston plays a lot of players, but Phoenix also is a deep team with six current double-digit scorers, and a pair of others combining for 14 more. Suns are 29-14-1 ATS in their last 44 on the road and are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 vs. the Atlantic, including 4-1 ATS at the Garden. No Garden party tonight, make the play on Phoenix.
