In a tighter game against the Los Angeles Lakers, they fell short by 3 points, despite scoring 120 points and shooting nearly 50% from the field.

BTB Betting Pick

The Celtics are the favorites with a spread of -2.0. They have a strong defense, allowing only 110.5 points per game, which ranks them 3rd. The Raptors score 116.5 points per game, but the Celtics’ defense might limit their scoring. With the Celtics’ edge on defense, picking them to cover the spread is reasonable. The projected score is Celtics 115, Raptors 112.

The over/under line is set at 226. The Celtics allow 110.5 points per game, while the Raptors allow 113.5. Both teams have solid defenses, which may lead to a lower-scoring game. The projected total is 227 points, suggesting the over might be a safer pick. However, the defensive strengths could also mean it stays under the line.
