Los Angeles at Boston

The red-hot and rested Los Angeles Clippers opened as a road dog, but they have a better road record than Boston has at home. The Clippers can do it all at seventh in the NBA in scoring, eighth in points allowed and fifth in field goal shooting defense. The Clippers are 3-0 on their four-game East Coast trip, part of an 11-3 straight-up run against the Eastern Conference. The Clippers are on a 15-7 spread run, including 18-7-2 ATS vs. the East. The Celtics had to play last night and suffered a 112-111 loss at Milwaukee, which involved a comeback from 19 points down in the fourth quarter before a wild finish ended the run. The Celtics are in a tired spot while the Clippers have one day of rest and matchup well. The Clippers are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings, including 5-1 ATS at Boston, and the underdog is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Play the L.A. Clippers.
