Play(s) of the day IMO
Boston -8 and OVER 182:
- Boston is 7-3 this season on Sunday games (includes wins over OKC, Orlando, Miami, Lakers).
- Andrew Bogut is OUT. - Boston's games have gone OVER in 5 of the last 6 games (also OVER 4 of the last 5 on the road)
Opinion:
They (Boston) always have come to play in nationally televised games on Sunday this season; take it as you will. Andrew Bogut injured... this hurts the Bucks inside. Everyone gives credit to the Bucks D, which should be recognized, but this is a huge advantage for the Celtics inside the paint. Ray Allen has been hot from outside since the all-star break, coming off of a 9-13 game from the field Friday. The Jeff Green acquisition gives them a boost in the transition game, as well as spreading the floor. He's still learning to fit in with Boston, and I expect him to come up big off the bench tonight (20+). I think the Celtics will get out and run in this one. I don't play em often, but I love this matchup. BOL everyone
Prediction: 102-87
