Why Bet The Celtics
✅ The Trail Blazers have had brutal luck this season in terms of player availability. Every key player they have has missed time for one reason or another. That stretch continues for this game. Damian Lillard, Norman Powell and Larry Nance will all continue to be out. CJ McCollum has also recently returned from a collapsed lung and will still be facong some slight minute limitations.
✅ The Trail Blazers continue to be impressively bad on the road. Their road record is 4-15 entering this game, only the Pistons are worse in terms of record. That statement holds true for average differential as well. Only the Pistons have a wrose average than the -11.2 points per game the Blazers bring. The Trail Blazers are actually stone worst in the league in a very key category as well, surpassing even the Pistons. They remain the least defensively efficient team in the league. There is a significant gap between the Blazers and the next worst Hawks.
✅ The Celtics are also a team that has a very large difference in results in home games vs away games. The .500 Celtics are six games over .500 at home while they are six games under .500 on the road. Fortunately for them, this is a home spot, and one they should be quite healthy in. Marcus Smart should return after missing some time. This game should mark the first in some time they have all key players available. They will roll through the Blazers in this spot.
