Boston Celtics vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Spurs should be favored at home, as they’re on a roll and they’ve played their best in front of their fans. However, the value is with the Celtics and the points, as they’ve played equally well and are 38-25-1 ATS on the season. Throw in Tatum and the Celtics have emerged as possibly the team to beat in the East and not a group that’s going to be underdogs often. The Celtics have been too good this season to turn down free points and now they’ve got their best player back in the mix. I can’t turn down the free bucket.
