Previous Games:

  • Celtics: Defeated the Sacramento Kings 113-95, but lost Jayson Tatum to a sprained ankle.

  • Suns: Beat the Milwaukee Bucks 108-106 in a close contest with a game-winning jump shot by Devin Booker.

Head-to-Head:

The Celtics have been dominant recently, winning 11 of their last 12 games, but the potential absence of Jayson Tatum looms large. The Suns have also been playing well, covering the spread in 8 of their last 11 games. Phoenix has been particularly strong at home, covering the spread in their last 5 home games.

Boston Celtics Breakdown:

Boston’s win streak is at six, but the team’s chances tonight hinge heavily on the availability of Jayson Tatum. Without him, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White will need to step up their performances. The Celtics are averaging 116.7 points per game and are a strong team both offensively and defensively. However, with Tatum possibly sidelined, their depth could be tested.

Key Players:

  • Jayson Tatum (questionable): 27.2 PPG, 8.7 RPG, 5.9 APG

  • Jaylen Brown: 22.8 PPG

  • Derrick White: 5.6 APG

Phoenix Suns Breakdown:

The Suns are currently on a four-game win streak, and their offense is humming, with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker leading the way. Phoenix has been a high-scoring team, averaging 114.7 points per game. They’ve been solid at home and will look to continue their strong form against a Celtics team potentially missing their star player.

Key Players:

  • Kevin Durant: 26.6 PPG, 6.4 RPG

  • Devin Booker: 25.8 PPG, 7.0 APG

Boston Celtics:

  • 8-4 ATS in their last 12 games

Exact Score Prediction:

Our Best Bet:

Phoenix Suns +3.5 (-110)

With Tatum’s injury casting doubt on his availability, the Suns are a solid pick to cover the +3.5 line. Phoenix has been covering the spread at home and has momentum on their side, making them the more reliable pick in this matchup.
