San Antonio Spurs vs Boston Celtics Prediction
This line makes absolutely no sense to me. The Spurs are one of the best teams in the league with the rest advantage, and yet they’re an underdog? I’m not buying it. As well as the Celtics have played over the last month or so, they played last night. Sure, the Spurs haven’t beat the Celtics since January 2022, but I’m going to grab the points with this team whenever I can. This line is confusing. Give me the free bucket.
