This is an 8* PLAY on the Celtics.

I think this one sets up really well for the Celtics, as I believe the Warriors are lined up for a letdown here.

Boston will be out to atone for a 95-92 home loss to the Mavericks. The Celtics also play with revenge here after a 111-107 home loss to the Warriors in December.

These two motivating factors are the main reasons behind this selection.

Golden State on the other hand is off four straight straight-up victories and five straight ATS wins and with three whole nights off after this game, in my opinion this sets up as a classic letdown position for the home side.

I'll stop short in calling for an outright upset, but I believe this one will be decided in the final moments.

Grab the points, the play is BOSTON.

Good luck, NP
