Boston Celtics (54-26) at Toronto Raptors (59-21)

The Celtics had the leagues 4th most efficient offense this season, but last time out they were in a horrendous down slope with their shooting going 7/35 from downtown, for a ugly 20% conversion rate. I will give Torontos HC Nick Nurse alot of respect for his teams turnaround in this series, but Im still betting the Celtics will bounce back here after that down effort last time out.

BOSTON is 12-2 ATS when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. 70% or more ) this season. BOSTON is 11-2 ATS in road games after 1 or more consecutive losses this season.
