Boston at San Antonio

The San Antonio Spurs are a very good team. Right now they are a very good team playing at the top of their game with seven wins in their last eight games. Boston has had difficulty against them, having lost eight straight against the Spurs, the last being a defensive struggle that saw San Antonio come away from The Garden with a 95-87 win. The Celtics have never done well offensively against San Antonio as they average a mere 90.4 ppg against them in the last 38 meetings with the UNDER prevailing 23-15. It has gotten even worse with Boston failing to top the 93-point mark in the last six meetings, averaging fewer than 90 ppg. While they have defended well vs. the Spurs, holding them to 98.8 ppg, the lack of answers on offense has kept them out of the win column. This game fits a 247-171 situation on the total, so the play is on the UNDER.
