The Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games.

The Celtics are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

The Boston Celtics are on the end of a back to back, and that's not a good spot to be for a team that's still without one of their top players. The Los Angeles Clippers have been in a slump lately, but they should like their chances at home with the rest advantage. The Clippers are winning at home by an average of 2.4 points, and they win in the favorite role by an average of 3.1 points. I'll lay the bucket with a rested, desperate Clippers squad at home.
