Horrible night last night but looking to rebound with one play today early.
Boston +2.5
Teams usually play well without an all-star in the first game he is out (see Phx) My theory is with an all star out everyone knows they have to raise the level of play and the subs want to get involved more. The Celtics have cashed four of five at US Airways Arena and the road team is 8-3 ATS in the past 11 confrontations. Boston has 'covered' eight of 10 on the road and 11 of its last 15 non-conference battles. The Suns are 3-10-1 ATS versus Eastern tenants and 0-5-1 against Atlantic Division occupants. Tread lightly since I have been cold, but I like Boston here.
