Boston looks to bounce back from a 119-112 loss to Milwaukee on Friday while Kemba Walker eases his way back into the flow, and he should get more minutes today. Marcus Smart scored 23 points on 7-for-11 shooting against the Bucks. Portland comes off a thrilling 140-135 overtime victory against Memphis while shooting 53.8 percent. The Trail Blazers will cool off that pace against the Boston defense. The Celtics won the only meeting of the season, 118-106, in February. The Blazers are 2-5 ATS their last seven games as underdogs, but the safe bet in this matchup is the Celtics on the moneyline.
