The Boston Celtics got a big win in Minnesota last night, and they have to come right back tonight in Houston. Boston has not played their best basketball over the past few weeks. The last time they played back-to-back games, they lost to Memphis at home 127-121. Boston has been over-valued as they are the defending NBA Champions, just 14-20 ATS. They will miss Kristaps Porzingas again, and likely Jaylen Bron, as both have ankle injuries. It is challenging for this team to play unrested and miss two of their top three scorers. Houston is off to a 22-11 start on the season, and the Rockets trail the Grizzlies by just a half-game for second place in the West. This is a bigger game for Houston, which is 8-3 in the season, compared to the East. Make the play on Houston.

Boston at Houston
8:10 PM Eastern
Boston is laying too many points against the Rockets, who are 3-1-1 ATS their past five games, including an overtime loss at Indiana before losing 119-111 to Chicago to push as an eight-point underdog. The Celtics had lost three in a row before defeating Portland and Atlanta and the Celtics are 1-4 ATS their past five playing with one day of rest. Boston shot 54.7 percent against the Hawks and went 20-for-42 from 3-point range and still won by only nine and the Celtics don't figure to stay that hot in consecutive games to cover a big number. Take the points with the Rockets.
