That said, if you like the Spurs but worry the Celtics could keep it within a point, take the ML here.<\/p>\n BET SPURS -1.5 (-110).<\/p>\n The Spurs went from 1.5-point dogs to 1.5-point favorites early Saturday afternoon. With that, the ML on San Antonio became pricier than the ATS play. Because I think the Spurs can cover the 1.5-poiint spread, I like giving the point-plus.<\/p>\n BET UNDER 230.5 (-110).<\/p>\n The Under has hit in 7 of Boston’s last 10 and is 3-1 in its last 4 home games. For San Antonio, the Under is 7-3 in its last 10, including hitting in each of its last 4 outings. The Under has also hit in each of the last 4 matchups between these squads played in Boston and is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall.<\/p>\n San Antonio has the third-best defensive rating in the NBA (111.8) while the Celtics possess the second-best scoring defense in the league, allowing just 110.7 opponent ppg.<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations.
