    Winners of 17-straight in this series, lay the points and back the Spurs this evening they face the Celtics in Boston.

    The San Antonio Spurs enter into tonight's road tilt against their slumping hosts the Boston Celtics having had a great deal of success in this series in the past. The Spurs have won 17 straight games vs the Celtics straight up, including eight straight in Boston by an average of 14.8 points per game.

    Note that Boston is just 1-10 against the spread in their last 11 goes as a home underdog of between 5-10½ points, and the Celtics have failed to cover 22 of their last 28 at home overall. San Antonio is 11-1 against the spread as road favorites of 5-10½ points.

    With that statistical data in mind, and also considering the Celtics' current slide that has seen them lose 14 of their last 16, I expect for the Spurs to meet very little resistance this evening, romping to a another convincing road win. Play on San Antonio to cover.

    Play: Spurs -8
