Many are going to look at this one and see Boston in a similar place as when they took on the Miami Heat. Boston destroyed the Heat for their fifth straight win. The problem here is that teams off a home dog win are bad bets in their next game, especially if they are facing a good team. While Boston has been hot, the Spurs have been hotter winning eight straight times. Boston has the defense to slow the Spurs charged up offense, but so do the Spurs. Another difference here is Miami was not playing well coming into Boston, while the Spurs are red-hot and a covering machine at 23-7-1 ATS in their last 31 as well as 12-2-1 ATS in their last 15 on the road vs a winning home team. The Spurs are also 7-2 ATS in their last nine trips to Boston. Boston knows it must do what they do best, bring their "A' game defense, as they did with the Heat, and they have done so as a dog at 7-3 to the UNDER in that role in their last ten as well as 5-1 to the UNDER as a home dog. San Antonio and UNDER.
