Ross’ NBA Game of the Night

Point Spread: -2.50 | -108.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Win
Celtics @ Mavericks 7:40 PM ET
Game# 579-580
Play On: Celtics -3.0 (4*)

This line is a bit of a head scratcher with all considered. Dallas is currently on a 7-game win streak and is 15-5 at home. Boston will be playing their 3rd road game in 5 days and the first 2 were forgetful. The Celtics were inexplicable hammered at Oklahoma City on Tuesday night 150-117 as an 11.5-point favorite. On their 1st game of this road trip, they were defeated 123-111 at Denver. They allowed Denver and Oklahoma City to shoot a combined 58.2% which is absolutely atrocious defense. Yet. Boston is a small road favorite against a red-hot Nuggets team. This looks like an ideal situation to jump all over the home underdog. However, it’s seldom that easy when it comes to sports betting. I am going with a contrarian mindset in this spot.

Give me Boston minus the small number.
