The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 47-17 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have looked great on their home court too with their 24-6 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Celtics have looked great in their games this season with their 43-21 record overall which has them right near the top of the East with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have been a good road team too with their 22-11 road record this year. The Celtics are off a big road win over the Cavs in their last one and they have been rolling in their games lately. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games and have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now, but the Spurs have also been red hot lately and have a big home advantage here. The Spurs are off a huge win over the Rockets in their last one, putting up 145 points in that win, and they have been crushing opponents on their home court lately. They are 9-1 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 4 wins in a row now. They have beaten some really good teams during this streak too and they have been blowing out some of the best teams in the NBA when they have played them at home. The Celtics have looked great over the last month and just got stronger with Tatum returning to the lineup, but this Spurs team is just a different animal, especially on their home court, so look for the Spurs to bring their best effort against one of the best in the East and continue rolling here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.

“At the end of the day, you guys don’t have a ton of access to the advanced analytics, so I think that’s part of it. The second piece is that type of player is just not commercialized. But at the end of the day, do you watch a connector? I think one of the hardest things to do in the NBA is learn how to have complete confidence and also be a connector, make other people around you better, and I think he does both of them.” - Joe Mazzulla on Derrick White after his team’s win against the Cavaliers in their game on Sunday.

"When you have the amount of people that average the points that they average for us on the surface, and then on a given night, you have someone that can have a big night, Keldon and Dylan off the bench had good nights. We had three starters with 20 plus, you may not have the points. And so if we can continue to acknowledge and celebrate that for not only ourselves, but for each other, I think it makes us that much more dynamic." - Mitch Johnson after his team’s win against the Rockets in their game on Sunday.
