Advice and prediction
With the Celtics’ roster nearly fully healthy at last, Boston is a understandably favored on Wednesday – but this is a capable Spurs team with wins over the Clippers, Lakers and Trail Blazers this season. Still, I’m taking the Celtics -4.5 here. Jayson Tatum scored 24 points and looked great in his first game back in the lineup, Jaylen Brown has become one of the best scorers in the league, and the recent momentum is in Boston’s favor.
Last season, the Celtics beat the Spurs by 20 in San Antonio – but the Spurs later beat the Celtics by 15 in Boston. Both of those games easily hit the over.
Prediction: Celtics 117, Spurs 108
