    Celtics-2 Looks Like A Lock

    I'm not the best basketball handicapper. Football is my strong-point. Usually, in basketball, I sit and wait until a game looks good. This game certainly does. The Celtics are on fire right now, winning their last 6. They are really good at home, while the Nuggets are 11-15 on the road. In addition, the Celtics have rested up for 3 days, while the Nuggets played a track meet game vs the Cavs. Lay the two points and take the Celtics.

    Nuggets play 9 deep and are a young team. B2B really does'nt affect them much and the Celtics are probably out of rythm from sitting.

    Nuggets may run them out the building.

    By 1 point? Highly unlikely.

    Are we actually going to cherry pick isolated games where a -2 favorite won by a point?

    I was simply remarking that the comment of "maybe boston will win but won't cover (according to some SU and ats stats)" was highly unlikely.

    Yes, -2 favorites have won by 1 point but the probability of this happening in this game is highly unlikely.

    Den is one of the best rebounding teams in league while Boston is terrible. One shot possessions for Boston while Denver has big opportunity for 2nd chance points

    I'm got big $ money on the Celtics. I'm in Boston. This place is miserable, cleaning up after the blizzard. All businesses were closed Saturday. Bruins were cancelled. Some subway and trains will start running at 2:00 PM today (Sunday). Game is at 6:00. Denver played in Cleveland last night. Celtics haven't played since Thursday, at home beating the Lakers. Denver's day is going to suck.

    Denver has to travel through hell. Boston does not. I will be shocked if Denver flew into Boston. My guess is they flew in to a city to the West and bus in.
