Boston Celtics vs Phoenix Suns : Boston Celtics -8.5 (-115)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Looking at the Boston Celtics' recent form, they've been shooting the lights out and their defense is just as robust. They're hosting the Phoenix Suns, who, despite their best efforts, have been struggling to keep up with high-scoring teams. The Celtics have shown a strong ability to outscore their opponents, making them a solid bet at -8.5 on the point spread. This is reinforced by our model, predicting a comfortable 11.58 point victory for the Celtics. The Suns' recent struggles on the road, coupled with the Celtics' impressive home record, tilt the game in Boston's favor. The Celtics also have the edge as per our model, indicating they are likely to cover the spread. So, while the Suns may put up a fight, the numbers lean towards the Celtics coming out on top by more than 8.5 points.
