Toronto@Boston, Houston@Orlando

Toronto played the Cs well in Toronto a few weeks back, and when they get hot they can definitely put up points as well as any team can. That being said, the Cs have Rondo back, and the only real injury is KG. I think the Celtics win fairly easily, probably by 7-10.

I am also using them in a ML parlay, along with the Spurs and Magic

**genghis_kahn** · 01-07-11, 10:22 AM

That's the exact same parlay I have going. Almost paying 1:1.

**nnhenry** · 01-07-11, 10:39 AM

Boston, Miami, Orlando and Golden State ml parlay.
Also Spurs and Lakers ml parlay.

**genghis_kahn** · 01-07-11, 11:13 AM

Do you guys think it would be a good idea to throw money on Toronto's ML too? Have Boston as the only common in 2 ML parlays risking 5U total. If I throw .5U on Toronto's ML and they win, I would only ending up losting roughly 3U instead of 5U. Thoughts?

**thebestthereis** · 01-07-11, 11:15 AM

if toronto covers it will be close and a shot on the ml is certainly possible

**jim844** · 01-07-11, 11:24 AM

toronto's coming off a big win against cle
i think they go back into suck mode for tonights game
with that said i think the line at about 10 is bang on so would only lean the bos ml on a parlay as has been said previously
good luck with whatever play you choose

Any reason why, Crnjak? Interested to hear the view from the other side...

**Snowball** · 01-07-11, 11:34 AM

Toronto cannot win in Boston. Boston ML is free money.

I'm taking Boston ML. Of course anything can happen in the NBA. But Boston is 15-2 at at home and Raptors 5-13 away. This is the Raptors 3rd road game. Boston has Rondo back and are riding high off of a nice win against the Spurs. Boston beat the Raptors twice this season. The one time they lost was in Toronto by only 1 and they didn't have Rondo. Yes KG is out but they still have Big Baby, Shaq, and Jermaine. And what good backup Center does the Raptors have??? And if Andrea Bargani gets in foul trouble forget about it. And Sonny Weems, Jerryd Bayless, Peja Stojakovic, and Reggie Evans are all out for the Raptors. That's like half their offense. But again anything can happen in the NBA, but I like my chances on this one. And some may know me as the ML King lol.

Raps fan here.

Without looking at stats, I can tell you Weems + Peja + Evans +Bayless is NOT half of the Raptors' offense.

Peja: has hardly seen the floor as a Raptor.
Evans: possibly worst offensive player in the NBA
Bayless: back-up point guard
Weems: labelled as a chucker by raps fans but does score a bit

**genghis_kahn** · 01-07-11, 03:36 PM

Hey Bourne... definitely agree with you here... what do you think about the game tonight?

**Bourne** · 01-07-11, 03:47 PM

Well, it's hard for me to have an unbiased opinion because I... hate the celtics dearly. *ahem*

Toronto's best performances often come against the Celtics iirc, dating back many years. However, in the last year or so, I'd say Toronto's performance against Boston is similar to the rest of the league's performance against the Celtics.

Celtics will definitely win ML-wise, but at the current spread of 9, I wouldn't go betting for the Celtics to cover. I say this because the Raptors have players that have recently been having good games compared to their norm, i.e. Derozan, Davis, Barbosa, Wright, and maybe some others, and with Bargnani back, Raptors can challenge if enough of those players have a good game at the same time.

(lol I realize that can be said for pretty much any team, but that and the tenacity I see the raptors often play with are my reasons for not taking the spread)

**hels** · 01-07-11, 05:25 PM

The Raptors are either a very easy team to bet or extremely difficult. This is because they either 100% show up to play or 0% show up to play.

If they show up against Boston I'd say they win 2 in 7 and cover 5 of 7. If they don't show up they'll lose by 25.

The problem is is you never know if they're coming to play or not.
