This is a Trail Blazers team that is on a two-game winning streak. However, it’s unlikely at best that they’ll make it a third. Regardless of who’s able to go or not for Boston, today’s home team should easily be able to get the win. Furthermore, I’m going to step further and say that the Boston Celtics will be able to cover the spread regardless of who’s able to play today or not.
Final Pick
Boston Celtics -16 (-110)
