San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview

The San Antonio Spurs have been doing it tough as they've lost nine of their last 13 games overall, but they will be eager to build some momentum after taking down the Wizards in a 131-121 win on Monday. Victor Wembenyama led the team with 31 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks, De'Aaron Fox added 30 points with six assists while Stephon Castle chipped in with 16 points on seven of nine shooting off the bench. As a team, the Spurs shot 51 percent from the field and 17 of 38 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they squandered an early 18-point lead, but they made up for it with a pivotal 9-2 run to start the fourth quarter to pull away and escape with the much-needed road win.

Boston Celtics Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics have been in great form as they've won six of their last seven games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight win after blowing past the Heat in a 103-85 road win on Monday. Jayson Tatum led the team with 33 points and eight rebounds on 13 of 26 shooting, Kristaps Porzingis added 17 points with nine rebounds and two blocks while Al Horford chipped in with 16 points and 10 rebounds. As a team, the Celtics shot 45 percent from the field and 17 of 53 from the 3-point line as they took control of the game with a 34-19 domination of the second quarter and they kept their foot on the gas until they led by 24 points in the fourth quarter. All five starters finished in double figures in scoring while the bench combined for just nine points total.

San Antonio Spurs vs Boston Celtics Prediction

The Spurs are still shorthanded with Charles Bassey still out, while the Celtics have ruled out Jrue Holiday and they have Jaylen Brown listed as questionable. The Spurs were able to steady themselves with a much-needed win over the Wizards on Monday, but they've really been struggling lately and it's no surprise to see them as almost double-digit underdogs against a shorthanded Celtics squad. The Celtics have proved plenty of times this season that they keep winning games regardless of who sits out injured and I think we will see another example of that here.
