Line movement confirms... Boston wants to lose.

Celtics will TANK to play ATLANTA and NOT CLEVELAND.

They think they can beat Atlanta, or at least have a chance
if they play out of their minds... but it will take rest.

RAPTORS have MOTIVATION.

$$$ THIS GAME COULD BE WORTH GOING BIG ON. $$$

Raptors are still fighting for playoff positioning. They clinched home court in the first round regardless of their opponent. They are in the 4th spot, half a game behind the Bulls. If they remain the 4th seed, they would play the Wizards (bite nails) but if they move up to the 3rd spot, they would face the Bucks.
(easier beat).

The Raptors are on the last game of a 4 game road trip. They are 3-0 on the trip so far, having beaten the Hornets, Magic, and Heat so far on the trip. They have a chance to go 4-0 on a road trip for the first time in franchise history. Also, a win in this game would set a new franchise record for wins in a season.
TORONTO RAPTORS ML

The Celtics weren't very good at tanking to get into the lottery. Doubt they'll be very good at tanking for seeding either.

But they should have an emotional letdown due to clinching and Toronto clearly wants the 3 seed. It's a good spot to take Toronto.

I think it's overrated who plays who in the playoffs if you're good you're going to win

[Snowball]

Putting 2 days profit on it. If I lose, will have the winnings back by Thursday night.

To me toronto is the far better team and this line only makes sense if the celtics would have a ton more motivation which does not seem to be the case.


Edit - i was basing that off the -4 line, i see toronto is now favored

Celtics owner is already playing the game with media.

How obvious a coverup of a looming tank fest can you get ?

"I would love to play [LeBron] in the playoffs somehow, and I would love to beat him," Grousbeck said.

Kendrick Perkins was a late-season free agent addition for the Cavs, and was surprised to hear his former owner wishing for a series with LeBron.

“Did Wyc say that?” Perkins asked with a puzzled look after Sunday’s loss, “I ain’t got no comment. No comment.”

Brad Stevens doesn't tank!

[krk1030]

Dont need a tank job, if the raptors want this game they would be my pick. And they want it so they can play the bucks

[Vinnie Paz]

No derozan now, wtf. Nba guys too soft

[Mcducky]

I'm on the same page as OP, Stevens has admitted he may rest some gus, even with Derozan out, you can't think that Stevens wants to play Lebron and Co. in the playoffs... I don't want to pick the Raptors but I don't think I can stay away, they have to want to win this bad, while i can't see Boston wanting to win this at all. Upsets me a bit that Derozan is out though

And... yes playoff matchups may be overrated in the west, but who in their right mind wouldn't want to play ATL over CLE?

Raps want to lose so they dont play cavs 2n round
