Why bet the Celtics:

✅ The Portland Trail Blazers are a team that has struggled defensively all season long. They are bottom-five in the Western Conference in points allowed this season, which does not bode well against a Boston Celtics team that has so many different ways to score. The trio of Tatum, Brown and Walker should feast against the Trail Blazers.

✅ After a slow start to this season, the Boston Celtics are starting to come around at the right time. They have won seven of their last 10 games, and are very close to breaking into the top-six in the Eastern Conference. Doing so would get the Celtics out of the play-in tournament and guarantee them a place in the first round of the playoffs.

✅ The Portland Trail Blazers are just 11-16 against the spread as a home team this season. Time and time again they have failed to live up to expectations while hosting contests. Expect that to continue here against a motivated Boston Celtics squad that is hitting its stride.
