Portland at Boston

Doc Rivers is frustrated by his team's lack of toughness. He called them out in a post-game interview after they were decisively beaten by the Nets at home their last time out. The Celtics are already getting bumps and bruises, and after their fight with the Nets Rajon Rondo is now suspended for two games, which won't help the cause here against Portland. The Blazers have taken the collar in the first three games of this road trip, but have an under-manned Boston team and should smell an opportunity for a win. Boston is just 4-4 at home and needed overtime to dispatch the then winless Wizards. The Celtics are simply not at full strength right now and are vulnerable. Boston is just 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games, and 1-4 ATS overall vs. a losing team. Make your play on Portland tonight.
