Boston Celtics vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

The Celtics are racking up the wins and are hard to bet against with the soft lines. However, the Celtics are 33-38-1 ATS on the season, and there’s a good chance Tatum isn’t going to play. The Suns are at home, where 23 of their 35 wins have come, and they’re enjoying their best stretch in months, as they’ve won four straight games. The Suns would be in the play-in tournament if the season ended today, and they need to keep winning to lock up one of those spots. The Suns could also move to the ninth seed if this winning continues. The Suns have looked different over the last wee,k and they’ll have their chances to beat an undermanned Celtics side if they bring that same energy. I’ll be on the Suns ATS and SU in this game.
