Pistons (Home) +2 - Celtics (Away) -2
The Celtics have halted their 6 game win streak with 2 crushing home losses to the Hornets and Bulls. Boston is staring down a 21-19 record sitting on the 8th seed in the East. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are coming off of terrible performances as they see their dreams of another championship ring fading. The Celtics will be giving it their all tonight because losing 3 in a row is simply not an option. This Pistons have dropped their last 3 home games and will make it 4 after they lose to a determined Boston team.
My Pick: Celtics -2
Raptors (Home) +5.5 - Lakers (Away) -5.5
The Raptors are one of the most underrated teams in the league coming off of multiple unfortunate losses. This game will be at 1:00 PM Eastern, so 10:00 AM on Laker’s time. I anticipate a jet lagged and sluggish Laker’s squad struggling to compete with the fired up Raptors. I’m not sure who will end up winning this one, but I highly doubt the Laker’s will be able to beat this spread
My Pick: Raptors +5.5 Leans Thunder +1.5 - I like the talent over the Nuggets home court record, but this is a close one. Thanks for reading guys, hopefully I build up some reputation after you can see my betting record. Until then, take it easy on me :D.
