Top Cappers News


I see this matchup as more of a toss-up, so getting the 2.5 points with the Celtics on the road feels like solid value. Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if either team pulled off the win, but I do expect Boston to keep things tight and fight hard until the end.

Now, I know this might sound a bit out there, but if the Celtics are going to continue living and dying by the three-ball, could they actually be better off without Jayson Tatum? Hear me out—Payton Pritchard is a true sharpshooter, hitting 40.7% from beyond the arc, compared to Tatum's 34.3%. Sure, they'll miss Tatum's presence on the boards, but if they can somehow contain Mitchell Robinson and limit his dominance on the offensive glass, Boston should be right in the mix. I’m expecting the Celtics to be highly competitive in this one, with a real shot to cover. Take Boston ATS
