This is a 10* TOTAL EXPRESS on the OVER between the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors.

REASONING: The C's had won four straight and eight of nine before falling 104-103 to the Bulls last Thursday, while the Raptors broke a three-game slide with a hard-fought 90-85 win over the Hornets last Wednesday. The Raptors have won five of the last seven in the series, but the Celtics won 109-104 at home in the most recent matchup on February 1st. Boston averages 108.4 PPG and allows 105.6, while Toronto averages 108.5 PPG and allows 104.3. Note that Boston has seen the total go OVER in eight of its last 12 when playing with three or more days rest, while Toronto ha seen the total go OVER the number in both games that it's played this year after playing to three or more consecutive UNDERs and in three of five after allowing 90 points or less. We're expecting these two teams to come out rested and look for them to push the pace from start to finish. Play the OVER.
