Boston Celtics vs Houston Rockets Betting Preview
The Boston Celtics (25-9) face off against the Houston Rockets (22-11) in an exciting matchup on Friday night at 8:00 PM ET. The game will take place at Toyota Center, home of the Rockets.
This contest marks a back-to-back game for the Celtics, who played just yesterday, which could be a significant disadvantage. The quick turnaround means less time for rest, and with the added challenge of traveling cross-country, Boston may struggle to maintain their performance level. Despite these challenges, the Celtics enter this game as slight favorites, currently holding a spread of Celtics -3.0 and a Moneyline of -145, indicating an implied win probability of 57%.
Both teams have been playing well lately, each winning 21 of their last 30 games. In their most recent outings, the Celtics edged past the Minnesota Timberwolves 118-115, while the Rockets secured a solid 110-99 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
For those interested in player props, Jalen Green's Points and Rebounds market has emerged as a popular betting option. The prop total opened at Under 25.5 Points and Rebounds (-110) but has since moved to Under 24.5 (-120), suggesting that sharp bettors are leaning towards the under.
As the Celtics aim to continue their strong play, they will need to overcome the fatigue and travel issues that come with this back-to-back scenario. The Rockets will look to capitalize on these potential weaknesses and secure a crucial victory at home.
