***celtics +1.5 @ sa spurs***only parker is likely to start***

[bigp69]

I think theres a ton of value in celtics +1.5 here.

Parker is considered the most likely of the Spurs' injured players to return Thursday, though McDyess also has a chance to play. Ginobili, injured in Sunday's loss at Memphis, said he was feeling "much better" on Monday, but his status and Duncan's are unknown.

Don't bet this game until an hour before. SA is very tricky with their injuries. I get the feeling the entire team plays, line movement is pointing to that.

[M.W.]

Rivers says his team is preparing for the playoffs, rather than "making a stretch run". San Antonio fans (though not necessarily the players and stuff) seem to think this is a "must win".

[kobstopa]

KG expressed his concern in an interview recently that the time is here for the Celts to start play a full 48mins with intensity and defensive poise. Also notice, most of the playoff bound teams are getting into defensive groove, therefore under scoring are most definite plays.

[bigp69]

If Ginobli and Duncan aren't playing and the line is +1.5 celtics I don't see who anyone could pass this up

[EastOakland]

on my book its boston -1.5

[JOHON8]

Ginobili and Duncan are still game time decisions, if you're making bets right now you're making them blindly.

spurs and mavs tonight take the points GL

[TheDane]

I have a tough time trusting the C's.

[thebestthereis]

celtics wins games like this, period. good luck!

[NBA_Brosuf]

The announcer from last spurs game said that 4 starters should be playing on tonight's game. That doesn't mean they are going to though and announcers are not coaches so yeah.

Betting early is still a gamble. It locks the prices down. If those 4 are playing, the spread is going to move for sure.

Also, Shaq is not in this game but the next game, he's playing I think.

[FairPlayBet]

I will wait, but will take Celtics anyway. If by some case, some of the injured players back for today's match, nothing change much. In that case we will have much better line on Boston and i am willing to take it.

[JMUplayer]

Beat writer on ESPN Radio said all four should play and start..... All practiced for 90 min hard yesterday

[ramones951]

Rolling lately on my NBA picks, loving my Spurs tonight!! +1 is a gift

[NBA_Brosuf]

Boston advantage is Jermaine O'neil is back and he is expecting to play. He showed up for the entire practice on Weds.

This could be a game where the spurs wants revenge. The last time they played was in boston and boston wins. All 4 games at spurs in them previous years, boston owns them all.

Without duncun, without gi, I don't think them spurs and bench are good enough to take down them spurs. They need their full squad to get a fighting chance. Playing hurt is almost as bad as not playing.

Everything I think and say goes to boston but my square head is going the other way. I have already taken them spurs.

[NBA_Brosuf]

I'm not impressed with boston at home either. Their last two, they lost both in a row to cats and grizzlies.

They lost to indy on monday

In the whole month of March, boston has some easy schedule and they blew it by losing to some chitty teams. They also beat some chitty teams too.

Playing with a hurt spurs is like playing with a chitty team so boston is a toss up to whether they can win or lose to a hurt spurs.

[ramones951]

Official SPURS twitter just confirmed:

"Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili will all play tonight without restrictions according to Coach Pop."

[lolguy999]

This just in... Celtics are doomed and i just lost a shit load of money

[ramones951]

This is going to be one hell of a game.

[thebestthereis]

if you are betting against the celtics as underdogs means you really just don't get it at all, but i am on the the other side of the table taking the money. good luck!
