Boston at New Orleans

Boston is wilting, a team with little offense, depth, or height. They are 27th in the NBA in points allowed, and a bad road team. Those deficiencies are why the Celtics are 1-7 ATS in their last eight against the mighty Western Conference. They come off a home loss to Phoenix, 87-80. The Celtics are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. New Orleans isn't that bad at home (15-16), on a 4-1 ATS run, plus the Pelicans are 7-3-2 ATS against the Eastern Conference. The Pelicans are also 6-1 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. The Celtics are 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings in New Orleans, so grab home court. Play New Orleans.
