I am thinking Portland ML tonight

I actually like Portland ALOT but I like the Under better. The final score will be Portland 85 ... Boston 94

If you like Boston by 9, why would you take Portland +8 (current line)?

PS I'm guessing you meant Boston to score 84?

I think there is some value on the Portland ML at +300. If I took the ML, I'd take the points as well. Over looks nice too.

In regards to the ML, both teams are so hot right now. Portland is on a 6-game winning streak, and Boston is on a 10-game winning streak. Portland has what it takes to beat Boston, and I'm pretty sure Portland can cover the 8-point spread.

What worries me about the Portland ML is that this is their fourth consecutive road trip; the traveling must be taking a toll on the players' bodies.

Like all 3 options Portland is young and strong.

Celtics win by double digits. They play up to their opponents, tonight is a night to blast away a hot team at home in Boston.

Portland 1st Half +4 is looking like a good play. Boston shifts gears after 1st Half and pulls away in the second half. In the first half, at home, Boston averages 48.8 pts, and surrenders an average of 46.2. But, against opponents that score 98 pts per game (like Portland), the Celtics surrender 48.7 pts at the half.

On to Portland. On road games, at the half, Portland averages 47.1 pts, and allows 47.3 pts. When playing opponents that score 99ppg (like Boston), they allow 48.9 pts at the half.

Based on these half time stats, Boston does have an edge in the first half. But Portland is getting 4 points to work with here at the half. To me, this makes it a very favourable play.

Portland 1st Half +4

Don't do it. You'll get buried. Portland played garbage teams last 2 games. Knicks and wizards. Celts -7.5 is the play

What I mean is I like Portland as a team but wouldn't throw my money on them against a team like the Celtics...Portland has a lot of potential butnot against teams like the Celtics, at least from a gambler's perspective. Take the under!

[ryanXL977]

not a bad play
though they will probably lose
but nothing wrong with a top 5 nba team at plus big money

[fiveteamer]

Celtics smack these kids around and bring them back down a notch.

[mundane]

after what nuggets did to celtics at home... barring injuries and what nots, i'd be really surprised to see celtics ever losing again at home. or at least maybe til they secure homecourt advantage at the latter part of the season.

With you on that under!

[ryanXL977]

its one game, anyone can win
port matches up nicely and though i doubt they win, they could
not some great bet though
but i see nothong wrong with port ml

[mundane]

im sure what u just stated ryan is obvious to everyone. otherwise we would all be 100% on any side we pick!

[ryanXL977]
